Vinod Dua died this evening after a prolonged illness. He was 67.
Even at your weakest, you gave Indian journalism a landmark judgment, said veteran journalist Vinod Dua's daughter, Mallika Dua, in an Instagram post. She was referring to a landmark judgment in a sedition case against him earlier this year where the Supreme Court noted that every journalist is entitled to protection. "No journalist will be randomly slapped with a sedition case because Vinod Dua fought that fight for them, as he always has," she said.
Mr Dua died this evening after a prolonged illness. He was 67.
"There will never be another like you. My first and best friend. My Papaji. Very few live as large and glorious a life as you did. Always up for a good time. Always ready for a challenge. Loved a good fight," Mallika Dua said on social media, recalling her memories with "the most courageous, irreverent, compassionate and funny man" she knew.
