A journalist working in a TV Channel, who went to collect information with regard to the house which was attacked using the petrol bomb attack and vehicles which were set on fire, has been assaulted by the Koppai Police.
The journalist who was attacked is 32-year-old Nadarajah Kugaraj.
“When I went to collect information with regard to this incident, policemen were also there. As usual, I was videoing the place by positioning at a little distance from the place where the incident took place. At that time, a one in civil cloth approached me and introduced himself as the policeman from Koppai Police Station, asked me to leave from there. I was continuing my job after telling him that I am a journalist. But, he suddenly punched my mouth. I fell down as the attack on me was unexpected. But I managed to stand somehow. I left there as bleeding started from my mouth owing to the attack on me”, journalist Nadarajah Kugaraj stated.
He, who is now admitted at Jaffna Teaching Hospital, is receiving treatment.
