NEW DELHI: Two reporters belonging to NDTV were reportedly beaten up by the mob of so-called ‘Pro-CAA protesters‘, during the violence in Delhi.

The NDTV journalists Arvind Gunasekar and Saurabh Shukla were ‘filming a mosque being set on fire’ when they were badly beaten up by the angry mob.

According to a report by NDTV, Gunasekar was gherao by a mob wielding stones and sticks.

The mob hit him on the face and was about to be brought down lathi on his head when his colleague, Saurabh Shukla, intervened.

‘The lathi hit Saurabh instead; he was also punched on the back and the stomach and hit on his leg; he is currently limping. Arvind lost three teeth in the attack,’ the report added.

A third woman journalist had reportedly pleaded with the mob that was to let them go.

Taking to Twitter, NDTV’s Executive Editor Nidhi Razdan wrote, ‘Two of my colleagues Arvind Gunasekar and Saurabh Shukla were badly beaten by a mob just now in Delhi, they only stopped beating them after realising they are ‘our people- Hindus’. Absolutely despicable.’
