Journalist Vikram Joshi Death: Nine accused have been arrested in the case so far. Two policemen have been suspended.
My heartfelt condolences to the family of Vikram Joshi, a fearless journalist who passed away today. He was shot in UP for filing an FIR to book his niece’s molesters. An atmosphere of fear has has been created in the country. Voices being muzzled. Media not spared. Shocking.
Yesterday, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra had also criticised the UP government over the attack. “If this is the law and order situation in Ghaziabad, which is in NCR, you can understand how bad the situation is across Uttar Pradesh. A journalist was shot at because he had filed a complaint about his niece being harassed. As the law of jungle prevails, how can an ordinary citizen feel safe?” she had tweeted in Hindi.
