Because journalists are considered the fourth pillar of democracy and when such an inhuman incident is carried out by any criminal on the fourth pillar of democracy, then the question of protecting democracy arises.

Journalists told that there is a world of difference in doing journalism from the forests of Delhi and Chhattisgarh. What a journalist from Chhattisgarh faces, a journalist from Delhi can never even imagine. A person sitting in Delhi cannot even imagine the risks he goes through.

At present, the police have arrested four people including the main accused in this case and started investigation.

Mukesh and his elder brother Yukesh were brought up by their mother, who was an Anganwadi worker and earned a very low salary.
