Attacks – Journalists

In a shocking incident, unidentified men allegedly assaulted journalist Krishnandan inside Magadh Mahila College on Wednesday.

The incident took place when the journalist was on campus covering news related to the Patna University Students’ Union (PUSU) Election.

The Gandhi Maidan SHO confirmed the incident, stating that the victim filed an application against unknown persons.

“We have registered the FIR, and action will be taken to identify and apprehend the anti-social elements involved,” the SHO said.

Krishnandan was interviewing students who were expressing concerns about security issues on campus.

According to the journalist, students complained about feeling unsafe due to the frequent visits of politically affiliated youth groups amid the ongoing PUSU election campaign.

“While I was taking interviews of students, some youths belonging to a particular political organisation, who were present, attacked me,” Krishnandan said.
