Scribe allegedly assaulted by cops: MP CM asks DGP to set up probe under senior officer
Sehore (PTI): Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Monday ordered an inquiry into the alleged assault on a journalist by police personnel in Sehore district.
A statement from the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) said Yadav has taken cognisance of the incident involving Zee News correspondent Pramod Sharma in Ashta and directed the Director General of Police to ensure a fair inquiry through a senior police officer.
Yadav also wished the journalist, who is hospitalised, a speedy recovery and instructed the Bhopal collector to ensure the best possible treatment through the government, the statement added.
The incident involving the journalist took place a few days ago amid a protest by sloganeering Karni Sena activists, leading to stone pelting.
It is alleged that a dispute arose when a Zee News team reached Ashta to cover the incident, during which police personnel snatched a camera and assaulted the reporter.

Will let my work talk: Raghav Chadha in Instagram post amid rift with AAP
New Delhi (PTI): Sidelined AAP Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha on Friday shared on Instagram a video titled "Voice Raised Price Paid", a compilation of clips of him raising various issues in Parliament, amid his ongoing rift with his party.
"With due respect, to those who are questioning my parliamentary performance, I will let my work do the talking," he said in the post.
The AAP on April 2 removed Chadha as its deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha and has accused him of shying away from raising his voice against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Centre in Parliament and instead engaging in "soft PR".
A combative Chadha has dismissed the party's allegations as "lies" and said that he went to Parliament to raise people's issues and not to create ruckus.
Since his removal as the AAP's deputy leader in the Upper House, Chadha has shared several videos and posts on social media, making it clear that he will not take his demotion lying down.
