Let Satyendra Dubey’s murder be the ‘‘last such tragedy in the country’’ Infosys founder and chief mentor N R Narayana Murthy said here today, urging the Prime Minister to speak to Dubey’s family.

In a message to IIT Alumni Association, Murthy said:

‘‘This heinous act on an honest individual who was fighting corruption deserves strong condemnation. Every public figure must condemn this act. I urge the Prime Minister to suspend the contract with the contractor involved, hold an investigation on top priority, and swiftly punish the guilty with the toughest possible punishment.

‘‘We need a good whistleblower policy in the country. Let this be the last such tragedy in India. I would also like the Prime Minister to speak to the innocent victim’s family to convey the nation’s deep sorrow, and provide all help to them.’’
