It seems the photo journalist of HT Patna Edition has no manner and he understands himself above the law and order of the country. That uncivilized photo journalist does not know the ethical boundary that how a person particularly a journalist should behave restraining himself. I identified him at first sight but do not know his exact name because he soon after abusing me and three other persons including an auto rickshaw driver fled from the crowd and was trying to park his motorcycle in the stand of HT campus.
As the incident goes it was almost 3:25 afternoon today. I and three more persons were in an auto rickshaw which got stuck in a traffic snarl up just beside the precinct of HT building in the way to going Patna Junction. Suddenly a motorcycle borne person carrying camera bag on his shoulder came from behind auto and showered filthy language like mother fucker and sister fucker. Even though it was not enough he stared and started to abuse me in a very nasty manner which could warrant some ugly situation. There was heavy traffic jam and he was making auto rickshaw driver responsible for this mess. As I know this jam is a routine affair there so abusing auto rickshaw driver and the passengers was not enough to solve this problem. By the time I recognized him as the photographer of HT Patna Edition and tried to grab him but he managed to flee. I am also a journalist and face traffic jams at every corner of Patna but I never came across abusing any photo journalist of any media house. So I would make a request to Mr HT Editor that keep some tab on such lens man or he will bring defame to the HT Patna Edition.
