NEW DELHI: Almost 300 cases of murder, assault and harassment relating to information activism have been recorded in the ten years since the Right To Information Act came into force on October 12, 2005, and Maharashtra has emerged as the most dangerous state for RTI activists in the country.

While there is no official data on RTI-related crime, figures complied by the Delhi-based Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative found 230 cases of assault and harassment, 49 murders, and four suicides, over the past ten years.

CHRI data found that Maharashtra has double the number of cases (murders, attacks, harassment) than Gujarat, which comes in second followed by Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
