“Truth Killed in Broad Daylight — UP’s Media Under Attack”

Late one evening in Prayagraj, journalist Laxmi Narayan Singh, fondly known as Pappu, set out on what seemed like an ordinary assignment — but he never returned. The 54-year-old was brutally murdered near Harsh Hotel, a crime so horrific it sent shockwaves through Uttar Pradesh’s media circles and raised a haunting question — are truth-tellers safe anymore?

Congress leader Ajay Rai called the incident proof that “Jungle Raj” still prevails in UP, asking, “When journalists aren’t safe, how can the common man be?” His words echo a grim reality — where the pen, once a weapon of truth, has become a target of fear.
