The body of 28-year-old journalist Mukesh Chandrakar was found inside contractor Suresh Chandrakar's freshly-sealed septic tank in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur. Mukesh ran YouTube channel 'Bastar Junction', which had 1.6 lakh subscribers and showed videos on aspects of government-Maoist conflicts. He'd played key role in securing release of CRPF personnel abducted by Maoists after an encounter in 2021.
