Nagpur:
The editor-in-chief of Marathi daily 'Deshonnati' was Tuesday
arrested in connection with the murder of a former employee of the
newspaper's printing press, police said.
According to officials in the Nagpur Rural Police, Prakash Pohare
was arrested from his farmhouse in Akola district by a police
team.
On Oct 13, Pohare had visited the newspaper's printing press in
Gondkhairi near Nagpur. Around 120 employees of the printing
press, including the security staff were holding an agitation at
the press as they had been sacked a few days back.
The victim Rajendra Dupare, 50, a security supervisor at the
printing press, was also among those sacked.
Pohare had gone to the press with six newly-appointed security
guards to ensure that the old employees vacate the premises and
call off the agitation. After a heated argument, Pohare had
allegedly ordered one of the guards to shoot Dupare, an official
said.
Dupare was taken to Government Medical College Hospital where he
was declared brought dead.
The newspaper had, however, in its Oct 14 edition, published
Pohare's statement where he said he was attacked when he arrived
at the press and that a security guard had fired in self-defence.
The six new security guards were arrested Oct 13, while Pohare was
absconding. All seven were booked under sections 302 (murder) and
34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common
intention) of the Indian Penal Code.
