Press Reporter of 'Yugsandesh'

Press Reporter of 'Yugsandesh':
Janardan Maharaj was the press reporter of weekly 'Yugsandesh' newspaper which was published at Dhule in those days. Being truth lover he never hesitated to write truth. That made others embarrassing but Maharaj never cared for that.

There was a shop of a European person at Mundalwad. The person was angry with Janardan Maharaj because his land was to be distributed among the poor villagers due to only Janardan Maharaj. Once a villager bought a coconut from the shop but the shopkeeper complained in the village panchayat about him that he had stolen the coconut from the shop. The panchayat fined the villager of Rs.60. Janardan Maharaj was informed about this. He asked the accused person to give him all the information about that in written form. He gave the news to his weekly, Yugsandesh to publish the matter under the heading, 'One Coconut in Rs.60'. The police got offended about the news. They filed a suit against Janardan Maharaj charging him for giving the false news in the newspaper. Maharaj did not fear about the suit. He had the complaint of the accused person in written form. Janardan Maharaj won the case.
