It wasn't the first time
The unprovoked attack by policemen on journalists in Hisar apparently has a precedent. Around nine years ago at the same ashram of the same godman police had targeted journalists. And the followers of Sant Rampal had entered the office of Dainik Bhaskar in response to the coverage the newspaper gave the incident at at that time. Evidently this part of Hisar is a dangerous place for journalists with its combination of god men and policemen. On Tuesday the police attacked the media again in the evening, according to reports.
