I can’t help but notice the irony in these two news items :

RTI activist murdered in Talegaon

An anti-corruption crusader for the last 15 years, Shetty had started wielding the Right to Information Act (RTI) Act to expose the irregularities in government offices since the last five years. His brother, Sandeep (34), told the police in his complaint that Shetty may have been murdered by some persons whom he had exposed. He said his brother had exposed many land scams in and around Talegaon.

Talegaon: an attractive spot for builders

I am not sure how much noise has been made by the media about this murder. The Chief Minister promised swift action, and last I read, 4 men were held in the case. But justice will only be served if the real culprits are booked. Else his death will be in vain and all he will get is a couple of lines in another Rabbi song.
