Condemning the killing of a senior journalist in Mumbai, Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan on Saturday said that police will conduct an in-depth inquiry into the incident to nab the culprits and ensure that they get stringent punishment. "Media plays an important role in democracy and efforts to terrorise the media will be foiled," Chavan said after senior investigative journalist Jyoti Dey was shot dead by motorcycle-borne killers in broad daylight in Mumbai.
Jyoti Dey, known as J Dey in Mumbai's journalism circle, was one of the leading crime reporters in the city. He was shot dead by suspected members of the underworld near his residence at Powai on Saturday afternoon.
