Chandigarh, Nov 30 (IANS) Journalists in Haryana have demanded a federal investigation into the murder of a fellow scribe, allegedly by members of a religious cult he had run an expose on.
A delegation of journalists presented a memorandum to the governor’s office asking for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the murder in Sirsa town of local scribe Ram Chander Chattarpati, allegedly by followers of the Dera Sacha Sauda.
The memorandum submitted Friday stated that Chattarpati was attacked after he did a series of investigative reports on the controversial functioning of the cult.
“He made a written request for police protection citing threats to his life from the Dera Sacha Sauda two months before he was attacked on October 24. However, the police did not respond,” the memorandum stated.
“Besides, the Sirsa police failed to take Chattarpati’s dying declaration even though he was in a position to speak for most of the three weeks he was ailing in hospital.”
The journalists alleged that the state government had granted the cult’s controversial chief Gurmeet Singh VIP status.
The memorandum said the two alleged armed assailants the police caught after the attack on Chattarpati were members of the cult.
Meanwhile, the Chandigarh Journalists’ Association has said scribes would stage protest demonstrations in all district headquarters in Haryana from Sunday till December 15 to condemn Chattarpati’s killing and reiterate the demand for a CBI probe.
The association’s representatives also plan to meet Deputy Prime Minister L.K. Advani.
