Mumbai Police has come under fire after it filed a case against Kamlesh Sutar, editor of Lokshahi Marathi, instead of investigating a story that the publication had published. This move has sparked outrage among journalists and media organizations who believe that the police should be focusing on unearthing the crime rather than targeting the messenger.
The controversy began when Lokshahi Marathi published a story that apparently exposed a major crime.

This decision has been heavily criticized by journalists and media organizations who believe that it is a direct attack on press freedom.

Rajdeep Sardesai, a prominent journalist, took to Twitter to express his solidarity with Kamlesh Sutar and criticized the Mumbai Police for their actions. Sardesai argued that the police should be focusing on investigating the alleged crime rather than targeting journalists who are merely reporting on it.
The Mumbai Press Club has also condemned the police’s decision and called for them to drop the case against Sutar. They argue that it is essential for the police to respect the freedom of the press and allow journalists to carry out their duty of informing the public.
This incident has once again brought the issue of press freedom to the forefront in India. Journalists and media organizations are concerned that such actions by the police could have a chilling effect on journalism and discourage reporters from covering important stories.
As the controversy continues to unfold, many are hoping that the Mumbai Police will reconsider their decision and prioritize investigating the alleged crime rather than targeting journalists. The outcome of this case will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for press freedom in the country..
