Hisar: A group of journalists dragged the Haryana police to the Supreme Court for beating them up while reporting on the Rampal case in Hisar.
The group of journalists is seeking compensation and have demanded action against policemen involved in the incident.
Three FIRs were registered in connection with the attack on media persons by police personnel in Hisar district during clashes that erupted at the ashram of controversial 'godman' Rampal in Barwala.
Media crews, covering the stand off, had faced the brunt of the violence that left some of them injured while cameras of many private electronic news channels were broken.
A fact-finding committee set up by the Press Council of India also met Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, who assured them that the BJP government had taken a serious view of the incident and that the investigations would find out at what end the lapse had occurred.
