Can you give me proof of the two government measures that you quoted? I'm honestly shocked although at this point I know it's on par for this (or any) Indian govt.

I can certainly show you enough video evidence, whether these are admissible in a court I am not sure. Most of the reporting is in local language, Hindi. Here is one such video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiLzIuMsnW0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiLzIuMsnW0 For those who cannot follow Hindi, what you see here is that the government is removing the burial shrouds over these shallow graves (thousands upon thousands) so that they cannot be counted from areal photography. For some context https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALO0VjfxXDA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALO0VjfxXDA (pardon the annoying and dramatic music) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DWWeOt4jWM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DWWeOt4jWM https://youtu.be/6iJPX6cYdPk?t=30 https://youtu.be/6iJPX6cYdPk?t=30 Let me find something in English to give context on these shallow graves https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q6hYu3EsC0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q6hYu3EsC0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeeJXjv5nsI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeeJXjv5nsI For the 'bimari' thing, Shekhar Gupta a reputed Indian journalist covered that on his YouTube channel. Since I dont bookmark any of these, the links are little hard to find again. You can give it a shot by searching youtube and ThePrint. If I find time I can add a few other links that show the same. UP government (a state that's run by the ruling party) was arresting and slapping terror charges (that allow holding the accused in jail indefinitely without trial) on those who were turning to social media to arrange oxygen cylinders for themselves or for their near relatives. The state government wanted to suppress the scale of their failure. In this particular case, the Supreme Court thankfully intervened and threatened the state contempt of court proceedings if anyone is charged according to these terror laws for asking for help on social media. You should have no trouble finding sources for this.
