Mid Day scribe was shot from close range: Post mortem

[1]

The postmortem report of senior crime reporter Jyotirmay Dey, who was murdered in broad day light yesterday,

indicates that he was shot from close range.

The report also shows that five bullets hit him, of which, four hit him in the left chest and one was lodged under

the right shoulder.

Dey was shot dead by motorcycle-borne killers in broad daylight in Mumbai's central suburb of Powai on Saturday

afternoon.

He was considered to be arguably India's best-connected writer on the Mumbai underworld. He spent most of his

reporting career bringing out accounts of the goings-on in the Mumbai underworld for several newspapers.

He also wrote a book titled 'Zero Dial: The Dangerous World of Informers' and 'Khallas' - considered a dictionary

on the Mumbai underworld.
