Jourlist's murder: Press council team visits Chatra

Ranchi, May 23: A three-member team of the Press Council of India (PCI) visited Jharkhand’s Chatra district on Monday to probe the murder of a TV jourlist on May 12. The team members met the district administration officials and representative of a jourlists association to enquire about the murder. The cause of the murder is turning into a mystery. Akhilesh Singh alias Indradeo Yadav, a local TV jourlist, was shot dead on May 12. In another development, a Maoist organisation Tritiya Prastuti Committee (TPC) has denied its role in the murder, saying that the police was wrongly implicating its cadre in the crime. Police on May 17 arrested three people, including an aide of ruling BJP legislator Ganesh Ganjhu.  (IANS)
