Watch: Journalist Rajdeep Sardesai Heckled at Breakfast In B’luru

Veteran journalist Rajdeep Sardesai verbally harassed in Bengaluru by unidentified man.

A video showing veteran journalist Rajdeep Sardesai being verbally attacked at a Bangalore eatery has gone viral on social media. In the video, a man in a striped t-shirt is seen shouting angrily at Sardesai, telling him not to “hate Hindus” as he was “born in India”.

The incident took place in a bustling eatery at Richmond Circle during breakfast hours, as the senior journalist had just wrapped up a shoot and was having a meal with his team.

Girish Alva posted a tweet calling it “Rajdeep’s Madison Square Moment”, alluding to the incident in 2014, where a mob of Modi supporters heckled and hurled abuses at Sardesai, at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
