A senior journalist was found murdered on Monday night, stabbed repeatedly in the chest while at work in his office in Junagadh in Saurashtra region of Gujarat.

Kishore Dave, bureau chief of Gujarati newspaper Jai Hind, was stabbed at 9 pm when he was writing a story, say reports.

Dave was alone in the office when attacked. His body was discovered by an office assistant later. There are no CCTV cameras at the office and hence footage of the incident could not be captured.

A police case has been registered but it does not mention any suspects, say reports.
