An example of media bias leading to incorrect reporting of facts in M-F violence stories

Story here. This is a case where we see two females assaulting a youth. The media assumes it a sexual harassment case and the two females will be rewarded for fighting back. The guys lose their jobs and then this revelation that it was all over a different issue. There is a rush to be on the "correct" side of the story. Never do people want to be on the *right* side of the story. Guess we will never know what the truth is. Excerpt:

'Haryana Police, probing the November 28 incident of misbehaviour with the girls and a pregnant woman on a State transport bus, said they had a watertight case against the three accused.
...
While some village elders of Asan village — to which the three accused belong — claimed that a Haryana police constable was also travelling by the same bus and his statement would be highly credible in establishing the sequence of events, the police said they were not aware of any such person.

After Deepak, Kuldeep and Mohit were arrested, a delegation of the Asan panchayat went to the office of the Superintendent of Police and demanded a ‘fair probe,’ threatening to go on a hunger strike if this was not done.
...
The delegation also claimed that the fight took place over a seat that was allotted to an elderly woman. They demanded that her statement be also recorded. They said she got off at Humayunpur. Later the woman, identified as Nirmala, was traced, and her statement was recorded.'
