The D-Mart Square at Hiranandani Gardens, Powai, has been renamed 'J. Dey Chowk' today in tribute to the senior investigative reporter, who was gunned down near the square in 2011.
Mumbai Mayor Snehal Ambekar unveiled a plaque marking the new name for the square.
The ceremony was followed by a memorial meeting next to the Chowk.
The Mumbai Press Club has been instrumental in getting the permissions from the BMC after pursuing the proposal for over a year.
The CBI has taken over the probe in the four-year-old murder case of senior journalist J Dey in Mumbai. The murder of Mid Day crime and investigation editor, 56-year-old Jyotirmoy Dey, was one of the prominent cases in which gangster Chhota Rajan was suspected to be the mastermind. Dey was killed by motorcycle-borne shooters on June 11, 2011 at 3.30 pm, allegedly at the behest of Rajan.
