There is a moment: Neha Bora is being detained in a police bus that protesters have managed to stop. Neha and the other activists leap out. Footage of that escape spreads online within minutes.
Madri Kakoti, an assistant professor at Lucknow University, sees it, takes a screenshot, and posts it on her popular Instagram channel, Dr Medusssa. In the frame, the activists are about to jump from the bus. Neha turns back and looks straight into the crowd, which today also means looking into the camera.
