'''Jyotirmoy Dey''' ({{lang-bn|জ্যোতির্ময় দে}}; 1955 – 11 June 2011), also known as '''Jyotendra Dey''', '''Commander J''', and '''J Dey''', was an Indian journalist, crime and investigations editor for ''[[Mid-Day]]'' (a tabloid newspaper published in several cities in India) and an expert on the [[Mumbai underworld]]. He was shot to death by motorcycle-borne sharpshooters on 11 June 2011.

==Career==
Dey started his career with Hindustan Times. A [[wildlife]] enthusiast, he first started writing on forest encroachment and the man-animal conflict in [[Borivali National Park]]. A story about government departments taking away land in the reserved national park created a furore in the state legislature.

He started his journalistic career as a freelancer with [[Afternoon (newspaper)|Afternoon Despatch and Courier]] writing about crime in the wildlife areas. He also dabbled in [[photojournalism]]. He then started free lancing for [[Mid-Day]] before joining them full-time. He joined [[Indian Express]] in 1996 and soon switched to covering crime stories, especially on Mumbai underworld. In 2005, he joined [[Hindustan Times]]. He later re-joined MiD Day as crime and investigations editor.

Dey had authored two books on underworld activities, ''Zero Dial: The Dangerous World of Informers'' and ''Khallas''. He has done many reports on underworld dons [[Dawood Ibrahim]] and [[Chhota Rajan]].

==Personal life==
He is survived by his wife Shubha Sharma, also a journalist, and his mother Bina Dey.

== Death ==
J Dey was returning to his home on his motorcycle from [[Ghatkopar]] after meeting his mother Bina Dey on 11 June 2011. Around 3 PM of the same day, four unidentified men on motorcycles opened fire on him at [[Hiranandani Gardens]], [[Powai]],<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/article2096247.ece | location=Chennai, India | work=The Hindu | title=Senior crime journalist shot dead in Mumbai | date=11 June 2011}}</ref> [[Mumbai]]. He was taken to Powai Hospital, but they did not have the proper facilities to attend to him. Dey was later rushed to Hiranandani hospital. He was reported dead on arrival at the Hiranandani hospital, with nine exit wounds on his body.

[[Mumbai Police]] speculated the murder was a professional job, and may be related to his reporting on [[Oil mafia of Maharashtra|the oil mafia]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics/nation/oil-mafia-killed-j-dey-suspect-cops/articleshow/8832194.cms | work=The Times of India | title=Oil mafia killed J Dey, suspect cops | date=13 June 2011}}</ref> The oil mafia, which pilfers oil being transported and also dilutes it before sale, has been under pressure since the killing of [[Yashwant Sonawane]] in January 2011.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-02-04/mumbai/28378885_1_oil-mafia-yashwant-sonawane-crime-branch | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120826003126/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-02-04/mumbai/28378885_1_oil-mafia-yashwant-sonawane-crime-branch | url-status=dead | archive-date=26 August 2012 | work=[[The Times of India]] | title=Crime branch arrests four more oil mafia kingpins | date=4 February 2011}}</ref> Dey had also recently reported that [[Chhota Rajan]] was the mastermind behind a recent shooting involving [[Dawood Ibrahim]]’s brother Iqbal Kaskar in Mumbai.

The murder was widely denounced by the [[News media|press]] and the local government.
<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-13745414 BBC News Jun 13,2011] "underlines the increasing threat investigative journalists are being subjected to by powerful political and business interests indulging in illegal acts", the Mumbai Press Club said in a statement.</ref>
