A group of media persons were on Tuesday allegedly attacked by some BJP workers at the Ottappalam court complex in Palakkad when police brought six party workers, arrested in connection with post-assembly poll clashes, to produce them in the court.

Four persons allegedly manhandled reporters and cameramen of television channels present at the court complex, objecting to them taking the visuals of the arrested BJP workers.

A senior reporter of a television newschannel said he was beaten up by the attackers who also destroyed the camera of another tv channel.
