Which smaller bro. Even we are small only. Did we received any threat for write anything.
I don't deny that this would not be happening but 1-2 incident among 125 million is unstoppable.

Frequent lawsuits against journalists by local officials and draconian legislation on defamation and online publications impose major constraints on the media and encourage self-censorship. But violence has emerged as the main brake on media activity in recent years, especially for reporters in the field and investigative journalists.
Wherever they work, Indian journalists are exposed to growing violence. As well as frequent verbal and physical violence, attacks by armed groups are on the rise in several states and the local authorities have had little success in reining it in.
With almost one attack on a journalist every month and four journalists murdered in 2015 (at least two of them in connection with their work), the state of Uttar Pradesh has become one of India’s most dangerous regions, more so than traditional conflict zones such as Jammu and Kashmir, where the media are often the collateral victims of clashes.
Published annually by RSF since 2002, the World Press Freedom Index measures the level of freedom available to journalists in 180 countries using the following criteria – pluralism, media independence, media environment and self-censorship, legislative environment, transparency, infrastructure, and abuses.
India (133) still in bottom third of World Press Freedom Index | RSF

You can't blame lawsuits. It's the legal right which the citizen have to exercise.
You can't make anyone God. Ne it media or a politician or anyone else.
