Kochi:
The National Commission for Women has decided to probe into
the issue of the case charged by the Karnataka police against
journalist KK Shahina.
Commission chairperson Ms Girija
Vyas opined that the act of the Karnataka government was an
invasion against women’s rights and right to work.
Those concerned have been asked to
submit the media reports based on the issue, she added.
Shahina KK, Kerala correspondent of ‘Tehelka’ magazine, was booked
in a case of intimidation by the Karnataka police last month.
Shahina had met two witnesses in the 2008 Bengaluru blast case and
published a report in the magazine on its basis, refuting the
claims of the police in the case. The police then charged the case
against her.
Shahina has submitted an anticipatory bail plea in the Madikkeri
Sessions Court which has been postponed three times and is now
scheduled to be taken on January 1. The hearing was completed and
the case postponed to December 20 for judgement, but had to be
postponed on the request of the prosecution asking for more time.
It was postponed first to December 22, then to December 27 and now
to January 1.
