Amid attacks on the students of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) by an unidentified mob within the campus on Sunday, 5 January, several journalists were manhandled and abused while reporting on the violence.
A reporter from India Today Ashutosh Mishra said he was attacked by a mob and labelled a “Jihadist” and “Naxali” when he tried to question the law and order during a live show for his channel.
He also alleged that as the mob attacked him and his cameraperson and broke his mike, the police did nothing.
