MUFP condoles sad demise of Aaj Tak journalist

Bhubaneswar, March 06, 2010: The presidium of Media Unity for Freedom of Press (MUFP) deeply condoles the untimely sad demise of Aaj Tak TV channel's camera person Mukesh Kumar in a road accident on Saturday afternoon. Mukesh (35) is survived by his wife and a six month old son.

The accident took place near Pipili while Mukesh was returning from Puri along with Mr Parvat Kumar, reporter of the channel. The car in which both were travelling badly hit a roadside tree, resulting in serious injuries of Mukesh.

Both Pravat and Mukesh were brought to Apollo Hospital, Bhubaneswar where Mukesh was declared dead. His body will be released from the hospital on Sunday after inquest by the police.

The MUFP expressed heart-felt sympathy to the family members of Mukesh Kumar and have urged upon his employers to stand solidly behind his family since he was the only earning member of the family who died while on duty.

MUFP will hold a condolence meeting under the Freedom Tree outside Jayadev Bhavan on Monday morning to pay tributes to the memory of Mukesh.
