Neha Purav, 43, has been a journalist in Mumbai for 25 years. But last week was the first time she received threats over her news report. Now, she’s worried about her safety.
Purav, whose official name is Sukhda Sadanand Purav, is a reporter with Marathi newspaper Navakal. On April 14, she reported that union minister and BJP’s Mumbai North candidate Piyush Goyal had covered his nose with a handkerchief while passing a koliwada, a village of the Koli fisherfolk community, on his campaign trail in Mumbai.
