RTI ACTIVIST DIES MYSTERIOUSL, FAMILY SAYS HE WAS MURDERED

[Mahendra Kumar Gupta]

NEW DELHI: The death of RTI activist Ravinder Balwani after a mysterious hit-and-run incident in the capital last month has sparked allegations of murder, with his family saying the 61-year-old was killed after repeated threats and that police were writing it off as an accident.

Balwani, an aide of RTI activist Arvind Kejriwal and a member of his NGO, Parivartan, was hit by a car on April 23 and died of head injuries three days later. No arrests have been made and police claim there were no witnesses to the incident in Vasant Kunj market. Vasant Kunj (North) police said there was enough evidence that it was an accident, but they were ready to "reinvestigate" if the family sent a petition.

Balwani's daughter, Sonia, said her father had been filing RTI queries since 2001. After he retired from Delhi Transco in 2010 as a manager, he had levelled graft charges against senior government officials and politicians. "This earned him enemies. Before that, in 2009, he had complained to the Indraprastha police station SHO on getting threat calls,'' said Sonia, a physiotherapist. "He was receiving so many threats that he stopped sharing them with us in the past year."

This is certainly a shocking incident! So many RTI activists have lost their lives so far.... What is our govt doing on this - remains a basic unanswered question!

this is very unfortunate.

But certain people dedicate their life for Nation like Mr. Balwani.

Almost all the RTI activists face a threat to life.

Who know's who is next.. But the caravan.. must go on.. show must go on...

 

If injustice is happening to your neighbour and you can sleep. wait for your turn. You are next!

I am only one. But I am still one. I cannot do everything. But still I can do something; And because I cannot do everything; Let me not refuse to do the something that I can

This is very unfortunate. I am with the family in fighting the war.

We need to see that the police registers a case of Murder.

If there is any resistance in this regard we need to provide support
to ensure that the FIR is registered.

Together we will win.

Yashwant Prakash
