Journalist’s murder: Top editors to meet Chavan Tuesday
June 20th, 2011 - 8:24 pm ICT by IANSMumbai, June 20 (IANS) A delegation of senior editors will call on Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan Tuesday to demand that the probe into senior journalist Jyotirmoy Dey’s killing be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation, a journalist organisation said here.
The editors who are likely to attend the meeting with Chavan include: Shekhar Gupta, editor-in-chief of the Express Group, N. Ram, editor of The Hindu, Arnab Goswami, editor of Times Now, Rahul Joshi, executive editor of The Economic Times, Girish Kuber, editor of Loksatta, Aditya Sinha, editor of DNA and Sachin Kalbag, editor of Mid-Day, according to a statement by Mumbai Press Club.
The meeting with the chief minister would be followed by a public meeting at the Club premises, it said.
“The editors will discuss the issues raised with the Maharashtra government and steps necessary to ensure safety for media professionals,” the statement said.
“Doubts have been raised about the possible links between certain officers of the Mumbai Police and the underworld, and it is doubtful that the local police can do a neutral and efficient investigation that will unearth the plot to kill the senior journalist. Incidentally, the intervention petition filed by the Press Club and others will be heard by the Bombay High Court on Tuesday when these issues will be highlighted,” the statement added.
