Killings of RTI Activists: New Book Reveals Shocking Negligence in Investigations in Maharashtra

 5 Over the past few years, Maharashtra witnessed brutal killing of Right to Information (RTI) activists from across the state. While studying and writing  a book on this, what my fellow researcher, writer Prasannakumar Keskar, and I found was the gross failure of the criminal justice system to identify and punish the murderers. Further, none of the 13 dead whistleblowers had any personal agenda or motive while seeking information under RTI and, yet, they were killed. Shockingly, in at least four cases, the accused were acquitted for lack of sufficient evidence. So, while the fact of murder is undeniable, nobody has been found guilty of committing the crime or killing RTI activists.
