Kolkata: In another blatant attack on press freedom in Mamata Banerjee 's ruled state, Republic Bangla crew was heckled, pushed and detained at the Jadavpur University as they were reporting on a protest inside the institute that was continuing for a week. Republic Bangla reporters Pinki and Bhaskar were locked up at the registrars office, while another reporter Hridita was heckled by the university students and staff members.

Shocking visuals showed a brazen attempt by Jadavpur University staff, students to attack, threaten, manhandle Republic Bangla crew when they tried to confront and asked questions to university officials.

Even after being manhandled, threatened, Republic Bangla reporters stood tall and undeterred by the hooliganism and bullying inside Jadavpur University campus.

Dramatic moments captured on Republic Bangla cameras showed women reporters being pulled, pushed with force by Jadavpur security staff, students as the team was reporting inside the campus.

The entire episode exposed the lawlessness in Mamata's Bengal as the press was trampled on with outright impunity. The Republic Bangla crew was ambushed as a goon-like behaviour was on a pure glory at the Jadavpur University campus.

All the heckling, pushing of Republic Bangla crew displayed how there is a freeplay to attack the press in Mamata's Bengal.

The big question here is will Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee take action against this anarchic hooliganism at the Jadavpur University or endorse the incident.

The unruly students physical manhandling of woman reporters was caught on camera LIVE when Republic Bangla crew was reporting at the varsity. They were attacked for asking questions as attempts were also made to block the cameras. Listen in to how Republic Bangla reporter Hridita was heckled, pushed and manhandled by University students.

Totally flustered by Republic’s nationalism, the Jadavpur University's students true nature was exposed in front of Republic Bangla's cameras.

The police station which is just at a distance of 5 minutes from the University took almost two hours to reach the campus.

Jadavpur University which is the hotbed of intellectual hooliganism became a one for physical assault too. But Republic won't back down in front of these anti-nationals and urban naxals.
