Demystifying Legal Concepts on TV and Podcasts
I break down complex laws and judicial updates into simple, actionable advice so you know exactly where you stand.
On a DD Urdu panel discussing stalking and obscene remarks under the new criminal laws. It is zaroori to know your rights and to file a complaint immediately, as tolerating such behavior is often seen as encouragement.
A clip from my discussion with The Print on the Prevention of Corruption Act. I explained its extraterritorial jurisdiction and how it differs from the IPC in handling cases of "undue advantage."
Explaining the importance of cyber safety and data protection on a DD Urdu talk show. I advise against mindlessly granting app permissions or sharing live locations, as these small actions can have serious security consequences.
During a radio interview at JECRC 90.8 FM, I discussed the rise in cybercrime since 2020. I emphasized that victims of online harassment should complain to the cybercrime cell, not just the social media platform.
In a discussion on online safety, I highlighted the three biggest victims of cybercrime in India: women, children, and senior citizens. The law is progressive, but awareness is the key to protection.
On a news panel discussing a tragic dowry death case. I spoke about the legal significance of a dying declaration and the need for great caution in relying on it for conviction.
Giving a news bite to ANI on a new Assam government notification regarding polygamy for government servants. The rule aims to prevent issues where multiple women claim rights over a deceased employee's pension.
A video of my interview with ANI discussing the Assam government's new rule requiring its employees to seek permission before a second marriage, even if permitted by personal law.
About In the Media: Demystifying Law on TV & Podcasts
When I discuss legal updates on TV or podcasts, I skip the 'legalese' and focus on the 'now.' Whether it's explaining how to file an FIR for online harassment or dissecting the practical implications of new criminal code changes, I aim to turn complex statutes into simple, usable advice. My goal is to ensure that when you watch, you walk away knowing exactly what your rights are and how to protect them.
Why I Speak Out
Legal news can feel like noise, but the law is actually your primary shield. Too often, people only interact with the law when they are in crisis, and that is a dangerous time to start learning. I appear on news panels, radio shows, and podcasts to bridge the gap between abstract legislative updates and the reality of your daily life.
My Approach to Legal Education
I don’t just recite sections of the BNS or the Prevention of Corruption Act. I translate them.
- Practical Safety: When I talk about cybercrime, I don’t just give statistics. I explain why you should stop sharing live locations or mindlessly granting app permissions.
- Actionable Steps: I detail the exact process for reporting, from emailing your local SHO to using online portals, so you don't feel helpless when an incident occurs.
- Balanced Perspectives: Justice is rarely black and white. I discuss the nuances of both sides of a case—such as handling false 498A allegations alongside genuine domestic violence—to foster a more realistic understanding of our court system.
Turning Awareness into Action
Knowing your rights is just the first step; knowing how to assert them is where the real power lies. Whether you are a student trying to understand career paths in law or a corporate professional dealing with POSH compliance, my media work is designed to help you transform legal theory into the tools you need to navigate your life safely and confidently.
