NEW YORK: The Committee to Protect Journalists and nine partner organizations urged Navi Mumbai Police Commissioner Milind Bharambe to investigate death threats made against Indian journalist and Washington Post columnist Rana Ayyub and her father, and to provide immediate protection for both.
In a joint letter, the signatories welcomed the police’s swift registration of Ayyub’s recent complaint but urged Commissioner Bharambe to open a formal investigation paired with visible, adequate protection to send a clear message that journalists in India can work without fear of retaliation or harm.
