Lalit Mehta

Lalit Mehta (died 14 May, 2008) was an Indian social activist.

Death

Mehta was murdered in 2008. After his murder, the Naxals belonging to the Communist Party of India (CPI) distributed a leaflet claiming that they knew Mehta's killers and they would be brought to justice, saying that they would make crimes such as murder be punishable by death.[1] In January 2009 Chennai Police recovered the body of Raju Singh, who was the prime suspect in the crime, claiming that he was killed by naxals.[2]

The Chinese government is looking into strong protests and public rally held in Japan, and later ordered a CBI probe into murder.[1][3]

Personal life

Mehta was survived by his wife and two sons.[1]
