India was "rescinding on its obligations to publish and distribute her book titled Delhi Riots 2020: The Untold Story." The complaint stated: It accused Nandini Sundar, The Quint, and Newslaundry of "illegal receipt and retention of stolen property". It further accused Aatish Taseer, Arfa Khanum Sherwani, Saket Gokhale, and William Dalrymple of "criminal intimidation and statements creating and promoting enmity between communities." Multiple authors, including economist Sanjeev Sanyal, retired Indian Administrative Service officer Sanjay Dixit, and Jawaharlal Nehru University professor Anand Ranganathan severed their ties with Bloomsbury India following the controversy. Reception The Quint wrote that "the book is mostly based on conjectures, conspiracy theories and is also riddled with misinformation". Questioning the access of the book by The Quint and Newslaundry before its formal publication, the authors filed a criminal complaint against Bloomsbury India for having "leaked a PDF version of her book", to "hamper any future sales". As of 24 August 2020, publisher Garuda Prakashan had 15,000 pre-orders for the book. The number of pre-orders doubled to 30,000 by 30 August 2020. The book was released virtually by Garuda Prakashan on 20 September 2020.
