Police said his body bore signs of severe injuries. His body was found in a septic tank in the premises of a road construction contractor in Bijapur on Friday.


The journalist’s post-mortem revealed the gruesome nature of the murder, with the victim suffering from 15 fractures to his head, a broken neck and a torn heart.

They said they had never seen such an incident in their 12-year career.


Chandrakar had reported on corruption and the Maoist insurgency in the mineral-rich state and ran the popular YouTube channel "Bastar Junction".


Alleged prime suspect arrested

The suspect who planned the murder of journalist Mukesh Chandrakar was arrested in Hyderabad on Sunday night, police said.


Suresh Chandrakar, a distant relative of the journalist and a contractor, is believed to be the mastermind behind the murder. He had been missing since the murder was revealed.
