The Kerala Police Crime Branch's seizure of reporter Aniru Ashokan's mobile phone has sparked widespread outrage among journalists, who stand against attempts to reveal their sources.
The investigative report by Ashokan raised serious concerns regarding the safety of 6.5 million job applicants' data, claiming it had been breached and illicitly sold.
In a show of solidarity, the Kerala Union of Working Journalists organized marches across various districts, including Kochi and Kozhikode, to advocate for press freedom.
Local journalists are rallying against perceived state interference, as the Crime Branch's actions may set a dangerous precedent for investigative journalism in the region.
