A Delhi-based woman journalist working with a news channel had to face the anger of farmers so much so that she had to be rescued and moved to safety as a large crowd of farmers raised slogans and asked her to go back. Later, a video showing the crowd chasing her began to trend on social media.
The protesters said they were reacting against the scribe and the channel she represented for an alleged bias in reporting farm protests.
According to the police, the journalist was reporting from the Mahaveer Chowk outside the GIC Ground where the mahapanchayat was being held, when a bunch of people started raising slogans against her. Within minutes, a huge crowd gathered on the spot and stopped her from reporting.
