This is the last three months twitter activity of #Kathua hashtag. The crime was discovered and first arrest made on 19th January- so it takes in account the whole timeline. See when the interest peaked?
The Twitter activity started with This tweet according to keyhole.co analysis. The handle belongs to a journalist who works for @ThePrintIndia - which is run by @ShekharGupta #Kathua This was the kindling.
Next influential tweet about #Kathua comes from Barkha. , then @bainjal and then you can see the following order.
These are the handles that chronologically followed tweeting in synchronicity about #Kathua after this dog whistle was sent out from Print Journo of Shekhar Gupta and Barkha of Quint.
Tweet activity of #Kathua started as clockwork with synchronised timing at 2:30 pm (time zone reference may change actual time) on 12th and 13th April. On 12th April by 7:30 pm the activity was dead but by 13th it grew into real people outraging- the manipulation was successful.
I again checked the chronicity of tweets for last 3 months- to include the full timeline of the crime's course. No significant interest in twitter outrage before trigger on 9th and 10th April. #Kathua
