A freelance journalist, Malini Subramaniam, who earlier headed the humanitarian organisation International Committee of The Red Cross [ICRC] in Chhattisgarh, was questioned by the local police for writing on issues concerning the tribals from south Chattisgarh.

Sources told The Hindu that police officers reached her Jagdalpur residence late on Sunday night to ask her “why she visits the forest” and writes on tribal issues. Ms. Subramaniam asked the officials to get in touch with her during regular office hours.
