BRAHMAPUR: In a daring act, some
unidentified miscreants brutally killed a young journalist near Khallikote
police station on the outskirts of the Khallikote town in Ganjam district on
Tuesday night.
According to reports, Tarun Kumar Acharya (35) of Bikrampur,
about 15 km away from Khallikote, was attacked with sharp weapons by some
miscreants at a lonely place near Khallikote police station and Excise office
at around 10.30 pm on Tuesday when he was returning to his village.
After getting information from the locals, the police
reached the spot and Tarun’s body lying in a pool of blood with his throat slit
open.
Sources said, Tarun, who was working as a stringer
for a television news channel, had written a report against some
influential persons for creating nuisance in their area. The miscreants might
have killed the scribe to take revenge of that report, added the sources.
The reason behind the murder of the young reporter or the
identity of the assailants is not known yet. Police have launched a massive
manhunt to nab the killers.
