RTI activist killed in UP
An RTI activist, who was a headmaster in a government primary school, was shot dead by unidentified men in Mohammadabad police station area of Farrukhabad district on Thursday.
The victim, Anand Prakash Rajput (42), had used RTI to get information which he used to get three teachers dismissed from service for getting jobs on the basis of forged documents and the process of dismissal of three other teachers was in progress, said Farrukhabad Additional SP Om Prakash Singh.
Singh said they were gathering information about these teachers as they are "prime suspects". He added that Rajput often raised voice against irregularities in the Basic Education Department.
Farrukhabad SP Nilabja Choudhury said about 15 RTI applications filed by Rajput were pending with the Education Department. He said Rajput was chargesh-sheeted in a case for allegedly molesting a colleague in another primary school he was posted at in 2010. The case is still pending.
