After protests by mediapersons for nearly a week, a medical officer has finally been arrested on charges of thrashing a Dainik Bhaskar Ambala journalist. Journalists allege that police had been "tight lipped" and slow to take action against Dr. Arun Dalal after he threatened a journalist on Dec 25. Protesting reporters claim the medical officer was annoyed by the reporter's negative coverage about him. They have demanded a probe into why the authorities did not act quickly in the matter.
