At least three journalists have been arrested in the last six months in Chhattisgarh, the latest arrest that of Prabhat Singh, who was held for posting "insulting message" on WhatsApp about a senior police officer. Activists allege IG of Bastar is law unto himself and is intimidating media. On The Buck Stops Here, we ask: why are journalists being targeted? And will Chief Minister Raman Singh intervene?
