Hi @Rahul,

as already stated in the other [thread](https://community.hivemq.com/t/can-we-read-data-from-special-topic-like-dropped-or-dead-in-hivemq-if-yes-then-how-we-can-read-and-will-there-be-any-consequences-by-doing-this/982/2):  
No the Community Edition (the open source version) doesn’t support the special topics.

Greetings,  
Michael
