Rahul Sharma
Deputy News Editor · Dainik Bhaskar, Bhopal
Rahul Sharma is a senior Hindi investigative journalist with over 18 years in the field. He is currently Deputy News Editor at Dainik Bhaskar, Bhopal, where his work centres on administrative accountability, environmental crises, misuse of public resources and the challenges of rural India — the reporting that directly touches ordinary citizens.
A native of Makhannagar in Narmadapuram district, Madhya Pradesh, he began his journalistic journey in 2008 and has since held key responsibilities at leading media houses — Dainik Bhaskar, Dainik Jagran, Patrika, Nai Dunia, Haribhoomi and Bansal News — surfacing hidden facts through documents, data analysis and rigorous ground-work.
Rahul believes journalism is not merely a means of conveying information but a powerful instrument to strengthen democracy — and he continues to work tirelessly for factual, unbiased and public-spirited reporting.
