******************************************************************
All of you are aware of the tragic passing away of our colleague Soumya Viswanathan.
A promising young Producer, Soumya was loved by her seniors and peers, and revered by her juniors. Soumya was murdered while driving back home from work after completing an unusually long shift at work, having stayed back to help with her channel Headlines Today's coverage of the blasts in Gujarat and Maharashtra on the 29th of September, 2008.
She was killed by a bullet to her head in the wee hours of Tuesday, the 30th of September.
We are waiting for the police to find the person (or people) who committed this dastardly act. We are waiting for answers, as we struggle to come to terms with our dear friend's unfair death.
But while we wait, we want to help the investigation. We want to do what we can to do the only thing we can for Soumya – find the murderer, who is still walking free.
To that end, we want to launch a campaign – Justice for Soumya, of the sort we have participated in on numerous occasions for the likes of Aarushi Talwar, Jessica Lal, Nitish Katara, Priyadarshini Mattoo and others.
This note is to invite you to join the campaign. This is to request you to lend your voice, lend whatever power you have, to help us in our campaign.
Come. Bring your friends. Bring whoever you think can help us.
VENUE: The Press Club of India, Raisina Road, New Delhi
DATE: 4th October 2008 (Saturday)
TIME: 1.00pm

Friends of Soumya Viswanathan
