Gautam Adani, a business magnate with close ties to Modi, reportedly faces restrictions related to ongoing financial and regulatory controversies, including investigations into alleged financial improprieties. Similarly, home minister amit Shah's alleged human rights violations during his tenure have reportedly led to travel restrictions to Canada, a country that takes a firm stance on such issues. 

National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, known for his role in shaping India's security and foreign policy, allegedly faces scrutiny in the United States, potentially tied to espionage or surveillance concerns. These restrictions paint a troubling picture of how these figures are perceived globally, contrasting sharply with their influential roles in India.

Despite these significant developments, much of India's mainstream media, often perceived as favoring the Modi government, has refrained from covering these issues extensively. The silence could be attributed to a concerted effort to protect the reputations of these individuals and prevent any political fallout for the ruling bharatiya janata party (BJP). By underreporting or dismissing such global developments, the media shields the Modi administration from domestic scrutiny, ensuring that these allegations do not impact its carefully curated image of robust governance and international respectability. This media strategy, however, undermines the public's right to unbiased information and transparency, key pillars of a functioning democracy.
