Uttarkashi: Missing Journalist Rajeev Pratap’s Body Recovered From Bhagirathi River in Uttarakhand, Family Alleges Murder; Investigation Underway

The body of 36-year-old journalist Rajeev Pratap, missing for nearly ten days, was recovered from the Bhagirathi River in Uttarkashi on Sunday, September 28, sparking outrage and concern across the nation. Pratap, an IIMC alumnus running the digital news channel Delhi Uttarakhand Live, had been reporting on alleged corruption at the district hospital, and his family claims he had received threats prior to his disappearance. While the police suggested that Pratap may have accidentally fallen into the river after his car was found damaged on September 19, his family maintains that he was likely murdered for exposing wrongdoing. The Special Disaster Response Force (SDRF) had earlier recovered his car, and a slipper found inside suggested foul play. A postmortem has been conducted, and authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding his death, as the family continues to demand a thorough inquiry. Mukesh Chandrakar Murder Case: 3 Arrested in Connection With Killing of Journalist in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur (Watch Video).
