In an unprecedented move, the Network for Women in Media (NWMI) has floated a petition to stop media accreditation being given to a fellow journalist called Rupesh Samant. The Goa police have filed chargesheets against Samant for committing multiple incidents of sexual harassment in the workplace while he was employed as PTI’s senior principal correspondent in Goa in 2015. The petition, which can be signed here, is to be submitted to the Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi. It also expresses concern that PTI did not hold a formal enquiry into Samant’s misconduct, and that it has continued to back him and use his services. In fact, it is PTI that has applied for Samant’s accreditation with the Press Information Bureau. At the time of writing, the petition had 25 signatories, a strikingly low number given the gravity of Samant’s alleged crime.
