New Delhi, May 8 (PTI) Friends, colleagues and teachers of journalist Nirupama Pathak, victim of a suspected honour killing, today demanded a CBI inquiry into the case. About 300 people under the banner of the group Justice for Nirupama gathered at Jantar Mantar and held a candle light march demanding that the authorities take strict action against those responsible for the Delhi-based journalist''s murder. The group also accused the Jharkhand government of trying to frame her boy friend Priyabhanshu Ranjan by booking him under various non-bailable offenses. "We demand that the CBI should inquire into Nirupama''s death as the Jharkhand police is doing an inefficient job. Though evidence is available against her real culprits, they are trying to frame Priyabhanshu and complicate the case," Anand Pradhan, HoD Hindi Journalism at the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), alleged to reporters. "If the government does not announce the formation of a CBI team to look into this matter within a week, then we will hold a protest march from the Press Club of India to Home Ministry next Saturday," he said. Friends and colleagues of the couple expressed their shock at Priyabhanshu being charged with offenses such as rape, cheating and abetment to suicide. (more) PTI RDM SJY.
