Journalist found dead in Narsapur
Journalist union leaders urged managements of newspapers to stop harassing journalists working in rural areas in the name of targets.
“The managements of newspaper organisations are pressurising journalists to meet advertisement targets. Journalists are forced to commit suicide,” said Virahat Ali, State secretary, Telangana Union of Working Journalists (TUWJ).
Along with several journalists, Mr Virahat Ali came to Narsapur on Sunday and offered tributes to Praveen Kumar Goud, who committed suicide by jumping into a tank.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
