The Editors Guild of India has expressed shock over the manner in which police arrested, stripped, and humiliated a local journalist in Sidhi in Madhya Pradesh, and chained another journalist in Balasore, Odisha.
The guild has urged the ministry of home affairs to “act immediately and take strict actions”. “The inhumane manner in which journalists, stringers and district reporters are often treated by the police, in an effort to suppress independent reporting is a matter of grave concern.”
