New York, June 22, 2015--The burned body of a journalist was found in the Indian state of Maharashtra on Saturday, the day after he had been kidnapped, according to news reports. The murder of Sandeep Kothari is the second such one of a journalist in India in less than two weeks.

"The horrific murder of another journalist in less than two weeks is alarming and is symptomatic of India's entrenched culture of impunity," said CPJ Asia Program Research Associate Sumit Galhotra.
