PCI to probe ‘harassment, intimidation’ of J&K scribes
The Hindu
The move comes after former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti wrote a letter on September 27 to the PCI and the Editors Guild of India highlighting such cases.
The Press Council of India (PCI) has constituted a three-member fact finding committee to look into the alleged cases of intimidation and harassment of journalists in Jammu and Kashmir.

It has asked the authorities in the Union Territory (UT) “to extend full cooperation and assistance to this committee for the discharge of its function”.

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.
