So far, nine people have been arrested in connection with the case, according to the police. Joshi was hospitalised after he was shot at by some assailants near his home on Tuesday (July 21). Joshi was returning home in Vijay Nagar area with his two daughters on a motorcycle when he was waylaid by over half a dozen armed men at around 10.30 pm on Monday, officials said. The journalist was shot in the head by one of the accused, who then fled the spot, leaving him severely injured. He was taken to a hospital where he is in a critical condition, they said. The attack comes days after Vikram Joshi, who works with a local daily, lodged a complaint at the local Vijay Nagar police post against some people for harassing his niece on July 16. Senior Superintendent of Police, Ghaziabad, Kalanidhi Naithani said nine people, including two of the three named in the FIR, have been arrested while the local police post in-charge was suspended in the wake of the incident. The FIR was registered under Indian Penal Code sections 307 (attempted murder), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 34 (act done by several people with a common intention) on complaint by Joshi's brother Aniket Joshi, Naithani said. The FIR had three named suspects Chhotu, Akash Bihari and Ravi besides some unidentified people.

A departmental inquiry has been ordered and the local Circle Officer will probe the matter, SSP Naithani said. Meanwhile, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra attacked the Uttar Pradesh government over the law-and-order situation in the state following the incident. "Ghaziabad falls in NCR. Going by the state of law and order here, one can get an idea of the situation in the entire state of UP. A journalist was shot at because he complained to the police against molestation of his niece. How will common man feel safe in such a jungle raj," she said in a tweet in Hindi.

Vikram Joshi, the Ghaziabad-based Journalist who was shot in the head, passes away

New Delhi, April 5 () How do you explain to a child the science of something that is neither living nor dead? How do you tell her that something invisible can kill people. What answer does a father have when his son asks whether he will be able to celebrate his birthday in June. Then there is the kid who is competes with his parents for TV time – cartoons or grim news programs? And perhaps not surprisingly many want to beat up China .Parents across the country, and the world, are grappling with an unprecedented challenge of dealing with their children who are too old to be shushed or placated and too young to understand the inexplicable situation the world has found itself in. journalists across India shared experiences and conversations with their children aged 2 to 13, which ranged from cute to poignant and heart-wrenching to humorous, and some with sagacity far beyond their age. Here are some of the experiences from around the country: Niheer Waghmare, all of 2 years 4 months, is a diehard fan of his father Aditya's Royal Enfield motorcycle. A short ride around Aurangabad is mandatory every day. When the lockdown started, this practice stopped. Now the bike engine is started every morning for him to sit on its petrol tank and drink his milk. His mother told him: "There is a threat called corona on roads outside. It will attack and injure us". He understood it's something dangerous. "He said, 'once corona ends, I will go to the hills'. For now, I show the hills to him from the roof of my house," said Waghmare. ---- Three-year-old Ira was never too keen to go to playschool. But since the lockdown she's been insisting on being with her playgroup. So her mother, Arundhati Pattabhiraman, dresses up Ira every morning and lines up her toys to create an environment similar to her play school. To make her understand about coronavirus, "we made it into a story that it is a monster which will catch her if she steps out of the house or if she doesn't wash her hands. So now every time she speaks to her grandparents, she ends the conversation with 'wash your hands or coronavirus will get you'." ----- Anvay Deshmukh, 4, believes he can beat the "Corona-demon" in a fist fight. He also checks out the main gate of the house a couple of times in a day, thinking he may spot the demon so that he can fight with him. "We have informed him that he is not supposed to touch him and keep his hands clean so that coronavirus will not recognise him. He has started joyously clapping every time after washing his hands" said his father Nikhil Deshmukh in Mumbai."We had to come up with a story of Corona-demon who is on the loose and is wandering on the streets," said Deshmukh. "He at times believes that." ----- Ananya Jaiswal, who is 5, used to go on a horse cart ride every weekend, followed by her favourite cheese dosa and watermelon juice. Accepting that the horse cart ride is not possible now, she has found an alternative -- her soft toy, a huge Winnie the Pooh, on which she sits and pretends to be on a horse. As for the cheese dosa, "we try to make her happy by making her favourite delicacies," said her mother Komal Panchamatia in Mumbai. The other day, she chose to wear her party dress and got ready with matching accessories. She wore it throughout the day, said Panchamatia, who like everyone else is working from home. "Ananya has by now understood that I have a teacher and I have been given homework to do every day." ____ Mihika Menon, 8, is disturbed every time her father talks about the rising number of coronavirus cases. Unable to keep up her routine of visiting the British Library every two weeks, she is re-reading old books, especially the Thea Stilton series. ----- Shaalvi Kolhatkar in Pune turned three on March 20 and celebrated her birthday without a party or friends. She insisted on going out but her parents keep her at home by engaging her in producing colourful decoration, cake baking and photo sessions. "Her non-stop chatter keeps us refreshed and motivated in this hard time," said her father, Sandip Kolhatkar. ----- Airah Zaidi, 7, whose school in Ghaziabad broke for the two-week recess on March 9 before the start of new session, is bored to death and now longs to go to school. So what does she miss most about school? "Seeing teachers get angry and students being naughty," said Airah. She tells her dad that Chinese people should not be eating "bats and insects" which she believes is the reason for the spread of coronavirus. "Chinese people should spread whatever disease they want in their country but not in India." "I want to hit the Chinese people on their head," says her brother, Wali Zaidi, 4. ----- It has been difficult for Sanjay Ganjoo in Chandigarh to restrict his younger son Saiyam, 8, indoors. A family trip to Mumbai planned for March 23 was cancelled and Saiyam doesn't understand why. Ganjoo has no answer when Saiyam asked him: "Will the lockdown last till June and will I not be able to celebrate my birthday?" ----- On March 15 when the Maharashtra government ordered all schools to shut, five-year-old Arjun Tiwari was excited, no questions asked. Now his only concern is will normalcy return before his sixth birthday in June. ----- Alya Srivastava, 13, is sad that the celebration of her best friend's birthday on Monday, has been cancelled. "Why are we being deprived of this little fun and enjoyment. Why there is no cure for the disease? When will I be able to go to school?" ----- Anushka Makne's virtual school session began from April 1. On March 31 night, she refused to go to sleep early. "When my wife persuaded her to sleep so she could wake up early the next day, the kid asked her, 'Has the coronavirus died?'" said her dad Eknath. ---- Sadhana, aged 6, has been given a matter-of-fact explanation of the coronavirus, and told that it attacks the children and elderly, to keep her indoors.Although her main concerns are candies and snacks, whose stocks are dwindling, she also misses going out with her father Sathish Anand, on what is called as "round" in the local parlance, in his two-wheeler. "So, her 'after this is over' list includes our regular visits to the nearby huge temple tank brimming with water," said Anand. Until then, it is clear who is in charge at home, at least as far as the control over the TV remote goes: she decides when the cartoon channel will be and when news channel will be on. ----- Kara Nofil, 5, has penned a message for her family and friends. In a beautifully handwritten note she says: Life is very tough at the moment because of this very unfortunate virus, as you all know. But you don't have to get too impatient and I'll tell you what the good thing is that you get to spend time with your wonderful family. Lots of scientists are trying to come up with a cure for this dangerous virus and I believe that they can do it and I won't put my hopes down, and all of you shouldn't too. … Be patient, kind and positive to fight CORONA." ---- Sudipto Chowdhury's 5-year-old daughter Adrija Chowdhury reminds him and her grandparents everyday to wear mask and wash. She pronounces corona as "carono" and has put up a small piece of cloth around the face of her favourite doll to protect it from COVID-19. ----- In Patna, Anand Raj's 8-year-old son Abhigyan Pratap Singh is upset that IPL 2020 is not taking place, and he blames China. Banjop Mukhim's 5-year-old son Mayan Nongbri in Shillong is livid over missing school and football, all because of coronavirus. But, he is happy to have his mother at home with him. He has decided to break his piggy bank and donate coins in the CM Relief Fund to fight COVID-19. ----- Ten-year-old Kartik Mehra, a student of Gyan Bharti School in New Delhi has clear ideas about coronavirus. "Coronavirus is made in China. I have seen in news, it got leaked when people were shot in a market in China. I know it is dangerous so I don't go anywhere." ---- For Dahliya Tyagi, 13, being with parents at a stretch for days is new is to her as she is used to one of them being absent. Her mother Richa Tyagi keeps her and her son Kayan, 10, busy by making them take care of their clothes and keeping the rooms clean. Initially they rebelled an accused the mother of tormenting them but have gradually come around. Now, Dahliya says she is "really thankful" for what the domestic help does in normal times. "I was happy that she has started valuing people around her and has learnt to show gratitude. I even heard her telling her brother, 'We will read all about this (coronavirus) in history books one day'," said Tyagi. TEAM VJVJ
