"Gurumurthy files a writ petition in Chennai High Court."
Chennai: Kanchipuram police have filed a case against journalist Gurumurthy for writing articles in journals about the Sankararaman murder case. He is now in hiding. At this stage, a writ pettion has been filed in Chennai High Court on his behalf. In that he has said that the case foisted upon him is against the right to freedom of speech and is unlawful.

[Editor notes that Gurumurthy's lawyer was reported widely to have sent the police his client's whereabouts and contact telephone number. Therefore, we tend to discount dinamalar's characterization that Gurumurthy is "in hiding", especially since newsweekly vikatan recently found him easily enough for an interview!]
