The Press Club of Assam (PCA) has sought a probe into the ‘mysterious’ death of a 25-year-old video journalist at Samaguri in Nagaon district.
PCA Demands Thorough Investigation Into Death Of Journalist
The PCA demanded a thorough investigation into the death of video journalist Dhanti Hira in a road accident on the night of July 16.
Dhanti Hira worked for a city-based satellite news channel NKTV. He was returning home from Samaguri with two of his friends on a bike and unfortunately hit two youths at Khatowal area.
“As the family members of Dhanti alleged that he was attacked by a group of people at the spot of accident and subsequently died, we demand an authentic probe into the incident,” said the PCA.
Nagaon police personnel reached the spot and recovered the bike from the location. “The two fleeing friends should come forward, helping the investigating police officers to unearth the entire episode that led to Dhanti’s tragic death,” said PCA president Kailash Sarma, working president Nava Thakuria and general secretary Hiren Ch Kalita.
