New Delhi (PTI): Journalists and colleagues of TV producer Soumya Vishwanathan on Saturday launched a campaign to protest her killing and bring the culprits to book.
They will submit petitions before Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Home Minister Shivraj Patil and Congress President Sonia Gandhi, demanding justice for Soumya who was shot dead in the wee hours on September 30 while returning home from work.
Soumya's colleagues condoled the death of the young journalist by lighting candles. Former classmates from Kamala Nehru College, teachers, close friends and journalists from different organisations also participated to show their solidarity with her family members.
As part of the campaign, 'Justice for Soumya', an on-line networking forum has also been launched to mobilise civil support for her.
The journalists also criticised Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit for her comments that "one should not be adventurous".
"We have not been able to come to terms with the tragedy of Soumya's death. There is an eerie silence in the newsroom. We will continue our crusade for her and urge the whole journalist community to support us," said Rahul Kanwal, Editor of the Headlines Today.
"Her death is just not another story. It is about someone who was one of us," he added.
"Please keep the campaign alive. Let this incident not go down as just another tragic incident," said Vidisha, a journalist and classmate of Soumya.
Senior journalist Jyoti Malhotra demanded that the government should ensure safety of working women.

Hey what has happened in regard to this? seems like we indians can't separate realty from bollywood otherwise how come we could forget and forgive such a grave mishap.Please speed up the procedure and bring all the facts to light punishing the guilty before we give up our patience.
It could just be any of us in her place!!Please find the culprits at the earliest.
Gandhiji once said "The brute by nature knows no self restraint". The person who killed Soumya do not have any right to be in our country and should be brought to book.
How safe are people working in most of the metros, especially Delhi? This is the question that is haunting most of the city people today, especially after the recent mysterious death of Journalist Soumya. Well, There have been many cases in the Capital, which have repeatedly shaken our faith in the extant law and order of our country. Such incidents ought to awaken the government as well as corporate organisations that it is their onus to ensure the safety of their employees who are the actual driving forces that keep the organisation growing, and hopefully, this realisation would go a long way in preventing such incidents in future. I hope this time, the Delhi Police and the intelligentsia would act faster putting all the credible circumstantial evidence together and nab the person/ persons behind the crime. May Soumya's soul rest in peace and justice be delivered soon.
Delhi Police have no diea what inevstigation is and how to conduct one. It is unfortunate that someone as sweet, talented and independent as Soumya fell victim to modern India's fad -- to live by the gun. It is a reflection of a degrading culture and we, her family, friends and colleagues, have nothing much to do but to pray for her and appeal to the Almighty to give all of us justice by exposing the culprits who took her away from us. Are we helpless in the presence of a corrupt police force and a dummy administration? We need to answer that!
Nobody is safe on Delhi roads. It's time to change this.
Hope DCP Dhaliwal remembers what he said last week: "will crack the case soon". we are waiting.
It seems the Delhi police is not interested in finding out the assassins. Shiela Dikshit must congratulate her gang of DUMBOs and ask individuals not to be ADVENTUROUS. Love you CM. We will always miss you Soumya. Hope the case is cracked and we get justice.
Delhi Police are trying to ignore the case by giving wrong facts.

I am one who sees no difference whether a killing is of a man, woman, he-she, she-he or child. There must be justice done. This person's journey in this life was cut short by someone who gives no care for life in this one or the next. If this is a revenge killing for this woman's statements about an official, then that official must be held suspect as well as the person who did the actual killing. I am sure that Soumya will have her chance to return and finish the work she was doing. This is the way of walking a path that must be finished no matter how many walks must be endured to finish the path. It is now within your path to find Soumya's killer and all who were involve in seeing her present life stopped. Would you do everything within your power to find justice if the slain one was a member of your family? I pray Peace, Blessings and Love to All Seeking the Truth. Rev. Robert E.
