Neemuch (Madhya Pradesh): Rakesh Joshi, the father of Neha Joshi who has been missing for the last 14 months has been on a hunger strike now for 19 days. His fight for his daughter has received wide support from society with 10 people from the town joining him in his hunger strike. A signature campaign has also been launched to bring back Neha.
A large number of people have met him and expressed their support for his cause. As his condition continues to deteriorate the local administration is making all efforts to convince him to end his fast. On Saturday, SDM Dr Mamta Khede and Tehsildar Ajay Hinge reached the victim's family and insisted that he end the fast.
