No breakthrough in the J Dey murder case, even after Maharashtra CM Prithviraj Chavan promised results. Dey (56), an investigative reporter with the Mid Day newspaper was shot dead by four unidentified assailants in suburban Mumbai on June 11.

Now, the Indian Journalists Association in Europe has expressed disappointment at the lack of progress in the case. The IJA has urged the Maharashtra government to take immediate measures to probe the murder effectively.

"We call on the Government of Maharashtra to take efficient and expeditious steps to get to the bottom of the matter. If need be, assistance of central authorities should be sought to ensure justice' an IJA statement said.

"India''s credibility as a democracy cannot be sustained without complete freedom for bona fide journalistic work' IJA statement further added.
