A journalist working out of insurgency-hit Bastar region in Chhattishgarh has been forced to pack up following alleged intimidation by Bastar police and a self-styled anti-Maoist group.

Malini Subramaniam, who writes for news portal scroll.in, was “forced” to leave Jagdalpur, the commercial hub of Bastar region after her house was attacked for being critical of the police in her writing.
