In India, journalists who cover corruption may pay with their lives. Of the 27 journalists who have been murdered for their work in India since 1992, more than half reported on politics and corruption. Jagendra Singh was one of them.

In a video interview from the hospital, the freelance journalist said he was beaten and set on fire because of his reporting.
