Correct NEWS
by anonymous anonymous on Jun 25, 2008 11:00 AM   Permalink

Andhra Jyothi has recently published a news (not directly naming any particular person) on how caste leaders are cheating their people and selling themselves to the political parties (to the congress in power). It is a well known fact in AP.

The leader of MRPS is upset (because he is one guy), warned about the impending attack and sent his goons to attack the head office of news paper. The police who gave protection on that day left the scene just 10min before the attack.

The goons burned furniture and threw kerosene on a receptionist.
The MRPS leader congratulated those who attacked and warned to continue attacks, if they do not tender apology about the news.

Employees of Jyothy and journalist associations staged protest on streets. Some of them burned the effigy of that MRPS leader. And a photo of that is published in many news papers the next day.

Now police have arrested those who were on the scene, invoking the SC/ST atrocities act.
No action is taken on the leader till date for instigating violence.
