Suddenly one goon allegedly a BJP man attacked Suman punching him on his face resulting in damage of his camera. The other Journalists covering the incident came to his rescue but could do very little. Other goons soon joined the attacker. Even after the assurance of the Honourable Governor of strong action, the attacks on the media men remain unabated in the state.

Prasantha Chakraborty, Secretary NUJ(I) and General Secretary, Tripura Union of Working Journalists Prasantha Chakraborty said that the matter was reported to the DM Belonia and a strong protest was staged by the scribes.
