Encounter Killing Casts Shadow on Journalist’s Murder Probe
Two brothers, prime suspects in the murder of a journalist, were killed in a police encounter on Thursday, August 7, 2025. The incident has sparked outrage and controversy.
The slain journalist’s wife has vehemently rejected the police’s version of events, alleging a staged encounter to cover up a botched investigation. She has demanded a thorough Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the matter.
Police maintain the brothers opened fire on officers, forcing a retaliatory response. Authorities claim the encounter was justified self-defense.
Both deceased brothers had extensive criminal records, according to police sources. This information, however, does little to quell the growing demands for a transparent and independent investigation.
The tragic turn of events raises serious questions about the integrity of the investigation into the journalist’s murder. The lack of transparency fuels public distrust and underscores the urgent need for accountability in such sensitive cases. The demand for a CBI probe reflects a growing public concern about police excesses and the need for impartial investigations into high-profile crimes.
