J. N. Jayashree is a whistle blower from India, a housewife who reported on corruption in Karnataka state and created a wiki to protect her husband, M. N. Vijayakumar, a worker employed by the state, The latter had accused government officials of taking bribes and kickbacks and engaging in "garden-variety pilferage." The wiki was created to generate awareness: Jayashree said she didn't want her husband to end up like Shanmughan Manjunath or Satyendra Dubey, who were found dead after they reported on corruption in a public company and a government department, respectively.
