UNNAO — One more journalist in Uttar Pradesh has been found dead. A 22-year-old journalist working for a local Hindi daily was found dead on a railway track here, police said on Friday.

Identified as Suraj Pandey, the slain scribe’s mother Laxmi Devi has accused a woman inspector Sunita Chaurasia, and constable Amar Singh among others for threatening her son and driving him to his death.

Police have lodged an FIR against Sub-Inspector Sunita Chaurasia, constable Amar Singh and one other person after the deceased scribe’s family complained.
