In a suspected targeted killing attempt, a Goa-based journalist named Savio Rodrigues, founder and editor-in-chief of Goa Chronicle, wrote a letter to DySP South Goa, Mr. Santosh Desai, urging him to investigate the matter.
Mr. Rodrigues, posting the letter on ‘X’, suggested that the possible hit-and-run attack on him could be because of his reporting on sensitive matters.
In his letter, he narrated the whole course of the incident that happened to him on the morning of June 28th at 8:27 a.m.
He further added that the car he got hit by was a gray-colored, Maruti Swift-like car.
Posting on X, he also tagged DGP Goa and Chief Minister of Goa, Dr. Pramod Sawant.
Filed a police complaint with DySP South Goa. I urge @DrPramodPSawant and @DGP_Goa to investigate the matter. I sincerely pray it is not a targeted attempt for the work I do in my reporting on sensitive matters. pic.twitter.com/WIcvC47spS
