Journalists Associations here today began their relay hunger strike to press for a CBI probe into the murder of senior journalist Jyotirmoy Dey.
On Monday, mediapersons had taken out a protest march to demand the immediate arrest of the killers.
The Maharashtra government had assured to accept their demand to bring in a law to protect journalists although it refused to hand over the probe to CBI, and said the Mumbai police should be given a fair chance to investigate the case.
Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan had also refused to consider demand for resignation of Home Minister R R Patil and suspension of Mumbai police chief Arup Patnaik.
In order to press for the pending demands, the scribes have decided to continue their agitation by resorting to a relay hunger strike today.
