LUCKNOW, India, Oct 5, 2015 (AFP) - Gunmen have shot dead a television journalist in northern India, the latest in a string of killings in recent months of reporters in the country, police said Monday.
The reporter, Hemant Yadav, who worked for Hindi news channel TV 24, was returning home from a market in Uttar Pradesh state on Saturday night when he was shot by unknown assailants on a motorbike. "It seems to be a case of revenge. The deceased was reportedly quite active socially and used to take up various causes of locals who approached him," subinspector Raj Kumar Singh, from the state’s Dheena area where the attack happened, said.
