'''J. N. Jayashree''' is an Indian [[whistle blower]], a housewife who reported on corruption in [[Karnataka]] state and created a [[wiki]] to protect her husband, M. N. Vijayakumar, a [[bureaucrat|worker employed by the state]]. The latter had accused government officials of taking bribes and kickbacks and engaging in "garden-variety pilferage."<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/05/technology/05whistle.html Anand Giridharadas, "In India, Protecting a Whistle-Blower," ''New York Times,'' 5 July 2007]</ref> 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.<br />
