India figures on the Global Impunity Index 2021 alongside Somalia, Syria, Iraq, South Sudan, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

On August 8 this year, Chennakesavulu, a journalist with a local news channel EV-5 in Andhra Pradesh’s Kurnool, was stabbed to death with a screwdriver. He was allegedly killed by a police constable and his brother for exposing the constable’s illegal activities on a show aired on the news channel.

The state police ordered an investigation into the incident, registered a case of murder, and suspended the constable, but both the accused remained absconding. There has not been an update since then indicating that they were caught.

Chennakesavulu is one of the three new names added this year to the list of unsolved murders of journalists in the Global Impunity Index 2021, prepared by the Committee to Protect Journalists. The other two names are of ABP News and ABP Ganga journalist Sulabh Srivastava, who was also allegedly killed for his work a day after he complained about receiving threats, and of Sudarshan TV reporter Manish Kumar Singh.
