[beardedmrbean]

The body of an Indian journalist who had reported on alleged corruption in the country has been found in a septic tank in Chhattisgarh state.

Mukesh Chandrakar, 32, went missing on New Year's Day and his family registered a complaint with the police.

His body was found on Friday in the compound of a road construction contractor in the Bijapur town area after officers tracked his mobile phone.

Three people have been arrested in connection with his death, reportedly including two of his relatives. A media watchdog has demanded a thorough investigation.

Police in the Bijapur district did not find anything during an initial visit to the compound on 2 January.

"However, after further inspection on 3 January, we discovered Mukesh's body in the newly floored septic tank near the badminton court," a senior police officer said, referring to the fact concrete slabs had been placed on top of the tank.

Police said his body showed severe injuries consistent with a blunt-force attack.

Mr Chandrakar, a freelance journalist, had reported widely on alleged corruption in public construction projects.

He also ran a popular YouTube channel, Bastar Junction.

Dagger with Zoomorphic Hilt

India

second half 16th century

Portraits of Sultan 'Ali 'Adil Shah of Bijapur (r. 1558–80) show him wearing daggers with zoomorphic hilts which combine Persian and Indian symbols of power. In this superlative, ruby-studded example, a dragon, whose tail wraps around the grip, attacks a lion, which in turn attacks a deer. Before the deer is a parrot-like bird with a snake in its beak, symbolism associated with the deity Garuda. Lower down on the hilt is the head of a yali, a mythical lion-like animal, with floral scrolls issuing from its mouth.

Tanaji's Vow. The fort of Kondhana dominated the landscape. Whosoever occupied it could easily control a large territory. Which meant that every emerging power sought to control this fort. The fort was also quite secure. An aggressor would have to pay heavily for attacking it. The fort also had a special significance for young Shivaji. It was here that, the historian Grant Duff reports, c. 1636, the Mughals had confined his mother Jijabai, when Shivaji was a little more than five years of age. By October 1636, Shahji had pressured the Mughals to retreat. But, Adil Shah whom he served chose to appease the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan by debarring Shahji from residing in his Jagir of Pune. At this Shahji handed over the management of his Jagir of Poona to Jijabai. Jijabai turned out to be a good manager. With the help of Dadaji Konddev she began to transform Pune from the market village that it was to a flourishing city. The territories of Chakan, Supa, Baramati and Indapur; all of them to be ruled from Sinhagad. A new settlement called Shivapur was set up at the foot of Kondhana. Dadaji Konddev is also said to have developed a new variety of mango at Shivapur known as the Shivapur mango. A worried ruler of Bijapur noted in a letter dated 1st August 1644 ce, that Dadaji had taken full control of fort Kondhana on behalf of Shahji Bhonsale. A little while later Dadaji passed away and people began to notice that the key person behind establishing control over the Maval region was neither Shahji nor Dadaji but Shivaji, who was about 15 years of age. From this point onwards, for the next three decades, Shivaji would continue to fight to retain control over Sinhagad while the Mughals tried to resist him.

Picture painted by M V Dhurandhar depicting Tanaji taking a vow to Jijabai and Shivaji to win back the fort of Sinhagad. This vow was done in the presence of his son and uncle, both of whom are seen in picture.

Key Suspect in Journalist Mukesh Chandrakar’s Murder Arrested in Hyderabad

In a significant development, Chhattisgarh police arrested local contractor Suresh Chandrakar, the main accused in the murder of journalist Mukesh Chandrakar. The arrest was made in the early hours of Monday from Hyderabad, according to officials. 

A Special Investigation Team (SIT), formed under the supervision of Additional Superintendent of Police, Bijapur, was instrumental in tracing and apprehending Chandrakar. The SIT is currently interrogating him to uncover further details about the case. 

Mukesh Chandrakar, 33, was a journalist with NDTV and also ran a popular YouTube channel, Bastar Junction, which had over 159,000 subscribers. Mukesh was reported missing on January 1, and his elder brother Yukesh Chandrakar filed a missing person complaint the next day. On January 3, his body was discovered in a freshly sealed septic tank at the accused’s premises in Chattan Para area. 

According to police, the victim suffered multiple injuries caused by blunt objects, indicating a brutal attack. 

Political Controversy Surrounding the Case 

The case has taken a political turn, with Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma alleging that Suresh Chandrakar is associated with the Congress party. However, Congress spokesperson Sushil Anand Shukla denied these claims and countered that Chandrakar had recently joined the BJP. 

Mukesh Chandrakar was reportedly murdered following a heated argument on January 1 with Ritesh Chandrakar, Suresh Chandrakar’s brother, over allegations of interference in Suresh’s road construction work. The tension between the journalist and the accused intensified after Mukesh highlighted alleged corruption in Bijapur’s road projects in a news report aired on December 25. 

The report triggered a Public Works Department (PWD) probe, which may have further escalated the conflict. 

Arrests Made So Far 

Before Suresh Chandrakar’s arrest, police detained his brother Ritesh Chandrakar, supervisor Mahendra Ramteke, and another associate, Dinesh Chandrakar, on Saturday. The SIT continues to investigate the case to establish a comprehensive timeline and identify all those involved in the murder. 

Mukesh Chandrakar had earned a reputation for fearless journalism. He had previously played a critical role in negotiating the release of CoBRA commando Rakeshwar Singh Manhas from Maoist captivity in 2021.

Arrest of Two Naxalites in Bijapur: A Step Towards Ending Violence

Introduction:

The region of Bijapur, situated in the heart of India, has long been plagued by the scourge of Naxalism, a radical Maoist insurgency. In recent developments, the security forces have achieved a significant breakthrough with the arrest of two Naxalites who were involved in a heinous murder. This arrest not only represents a victory for law enforcement but also raises hopes of restoring peace and stability in the area.

The Ongoing Struggle in Bijapur:

Bijapur, in the state of Chhattisgarh, has witnessed a prolonged battle between the government and Naxal insurgents. The Naxalites, often operating in remote and dense forest areas, have been responsible for numerous acts of violence, including attacks on security personnel, abductions, and killings of civilians. The situation has led to instability and the suffering of local communities.

The Recent Arrests:

The arrest of the two Naxalites responsible for the murder marks a significant step forward in the government's efforts to curb the insurgency and restore normalcy in the region. It demonstrates the commitment of security forces and law enforcement agencies to bring perpetrators of violence to justice.

The Impact on the Local Community:

The news of these arrests is not only a ray of hope but also a sigh of relief for the people of Bijapur. For years, they have endured the horrors of violence, often living in fear for their lives. The apprehension of those responsible for heinous crimes sends a message that justice is being served, and that peace and security are attainable goals.

Challenges Ahead:

While the arrests are undoubtedly a positive development, it is essential to acknowledge the challenges that lie ahead. The Naxal insurgency is deeply rooted, and tackling it requires a multifaceted approach that includes addressing socio-economic disparities, improving infrastructure, and enhancing the overall quality of life in affected areas.

Furthermore, there is a need for rehabilitation and reintegration programs for former Naxal cadres to help them return to mainstream society. These efforts, combined with a consistent and fair application of the law, can contribute to lasting peace and stability.

A Call for Unity:

The arrest of the two Naxalites should serve as a reminder that a united front against violence and extremism is essential. It requires cooperation between security forces, the government, and civil society, as well as a commitment to addressing the root causes of insurgency.

Conclusion: The arrest of the two Naxalites responsible for a murder in Bijapur is a beacon of hope for the local community and a testament to the unwavering dedication of law enforcement in their pursuit of justice. It is a small but significant step towards ending the cycle of violence and achieving lasting peace and prosperity in the region. While challenges remain, this development shows that progress is possible and that the path to peace is not unattainable. It is a call to action for all stakeholders to work together towards a brighter and more peaceful future for Bijapur.
