Indian journalist shot dead

An Indian journalist was gunned down by two masked men outside his home after receiving death threats related to an article he had written. A note found near his body stated: "If you don't stop publishing news, you will die."

Umesh Rajput was a reporter with the Hindi-language daily Nai Dunia and lived in Raipur, in the central state of Chhattisgarh.

His death has been linked to a story he wrote about a man who developed an eye infection after an operation. Police are said to be questioning a female health worker.
