Journalists Attacked Amid Protests in Murshidabad, Police Response Questioned

Violence against journalists has escalated over two days in Beldanga, Murshidabad, amid protests linked to a migrant worker's death. On Friday, Zee 24 Ghanta journalist Soma Maiti and others were attacked and molested despite police presence. On Saturday, ABP Anand reporters faced similar assaults while covering road blockades. Police were criticized for limited intervention. The ruling Trinamool Congress condemned the attacks as threats to press freedom, while the opposition BJP called for strict action, with no arrests reported yet.
