Anirban Sinha Roy
Anirban Sinha Roy is a Principal Correspondent with India Today who works as a multimedia journalist across politics, sports and general news, with a clear focus on power, governance and public sentiment in West Bengal. He brings more than eight years of reporting experience to stories that blend on-the-ground visuals with close attention to how political decisions play out for ordinary people. His work often sits at the junction of party politics, law-and-order incidents and mass events, making him a consistent voice on high-stakes developments in the state.
Party battles and local power shifts
Roy’s political reporting frequently follows how decisions by party leadership ripple through local structures and offices. In coverage of a Trinamool Congress councillor stepping down from a chairperson post immediately after a notice to Abhishek Banerjee, he tracks the chain from central action to local resignation, treating the episode as a window into pressure, loyalty and internal discipline within the ruling party. He focuses on party figures, formal positions and the timing of moves, showing how individual officeholders respond when central leaders come under scrutiny or face investigative action.
His broader election work covers general polls and their fallout, adding context on how national campaigns translate into ground-level alignments and defections.
Religion, imagery and political messaging
A recurring strand in Roy’s writing is the way religious symbols and public communication become contested political terrain. In his piece on the Bengal government’s advertisement featuring an 11-armed Goddess Durga, he foregrounds the question “Which scripture?” as parties clash over the depiction and its conformity with tradition. He shows how a single image in a government campaign can trigger a wider row, bringing in reactions from political leaders and framing the dispute as part of a larger battle over cultural authority and state messaging. The emphasis is on how imagery, not just policy, feeds mobilisations and accusations between rivals.
Governance crises and public distress
Roy often reports from the scene of governance breakdowns, combining visual description with accounts of those directly affected. In his special report on the IndiGo flight cancellations and delays, he files from Kolkata airport and describes the “ruckus” at ticket counters and the distress among passengers as hundreds of flights are cancelled nationwide. He follows both domestic and international travellers, focusing on queues, confusion and the practical impact of systemic disruption.
His author bio also highlights coverage of major incidents such as the Balasore train tragedy, the Sandeshkhali incident and the R.G. Kar incident, positioning him as a regular presence at high-profile crises where law-and-order, infrastructure and political accountability intersect.
Across these stories, he gives weight to the lived experience of disruption while situating events within broader questions of state responsibility.
Sports, spectacle and their political aftershocks
Roy’s sports work is anchored in big events that carry both cultural and political significance.
He has reported on international cricket and football, including World Cup coverage, and tracks fan frenzy around figures such as Lionel Messi when they draw large crowds and complex organisational demands. In his reporting on chaotic scenes at Kolkata’s Salt Lake Stadium during Messi’s visit, he not only covers the mismanagement that left fans stranded but also follows the subsequent political fallout, including the arrest of organiser Shatadru Dutta and sharp attacks from the Bharatiya Janata Party on the state government.
He shows how failures around a sporting spectacle quickly become ammunition in partisan conflict, quoting opposition leaders and detailing how blame is allocated between organisers and authorities. Even in non-political sports pieces, such as coverage of a 70-foot Messi statue and the surrounding fan frenzy, he leans on strong visuals and atmosphere, underscoring how high-profile events shape public mood.
Multimedia style and platforms
Roy works as a visual maker and journalist for the India Today group, regularly filing video-driven field reports alongside written pieces. His author profile describes him as a multimedia journalist, and his social bio reinforces that he builds stories through images and on-the-ground footage as much as through text. Over more than eight years, he has grown into a senior role within the organisation, handling general news while maintaining a consistent focus on politically charged incidents and large-scale events.
This mix of political insight, crisis coverage and sports spectacle, delivered in a visual format, defines his reporting style and the kinds of stories he is positioned to cover.
