A television journalist and fellow crew members on Friday were allegedly chased and attacked with bricks by a group of men when they went to report the alleged assault of a 17-year-old boy in South-West Delhi’s Inderpuri.

The attack allegedly happened outside the house of Sunny Rana, one of the accused. Although the bricks, hurled twice at Rashmi Mann from NDTV 24*7, did not hit her, she was forced to seek refuge in first a garden and then a house to save herself, said the police. Eyewitnesses said that when she was setting up the feed to be sent to the newsroom and had just parked her Outside Broadcast van next to the residence of Rana, a group of men started throwing bricks and stones at her. She, cameraman Kamalkant and another employee of the channel rushed in different directions to save themselves but the crowd went after Ms. Mann.
