The International Press Institute (IPI), a global network of editors, media executives and journalists, called upon the Andhra Pradesh government to immediately arrest the persons responsible for murdering EV-5 TV reporter Chennakeshavalu. The reporter was allegedly stabbed to death on Sunday night by a police constable and his brother in Nandyal in Kurnool district. The police said constable Venkatasubbaiah had called the reporter for a meeting to discuss a report that Mr. Chennakeshavalu had aired about the constable’s alleged involvement in the illegal sale of tobacco products and gambling in the area.
