Associate Editor of The Arunachal Times Ranjit Sinha was beaten up on Friday morning (12.30 am- 1.00 am) by four people near heavily guarded Civil Secretariat in Itanagar.

The 52 year old Sinha was walking back home after work when he was assaulted. The attack was so severe that he fell unconscious for sometime before he managed to pick himself up and report to the ITBP personnel, guarding the civil secretariat. Sinha had identified himself as a journalist of this daily just before the attack when the assaulters asked him where he was coming from.

With the help of ITBP, a passerby, whose identity we don’t know as yet later dropped Sinha back to the office from where he was taken to the R K mission hospital. Doctors expect that he will make a full recovery.

Assaulters snatched his belongings including mobile phone and cash.
