Jyotiraditya Scindia, leader of Congress has demanded a CBI inquiry into the incident. “He was killed in broad daylight. Nothing less than a CBI inquiry should be done. Media is the 4th pillar of democracy and that is being crushed under BJP’s rule.” It is a sad story that RTI activists and the few honest journalists are being murdered throughout the country.
