In Brief
A widow whose journalist husband was murdered sought police protection and proper investigation into his death. She alleged that accused persons and political operatives had terrorised her and her two children, and that a fair trial could not occur in Siwan District due to local political influence. The Supreme Court issued notices to all respondents, directed the CBI to proceed with investigation and file a status report, and ordered the State to provide immediate police protection to the petitioner and her family, finding her in continuous fear from those associated with the crime."> </invoke>
