Publisher at https://www.pairavionline.com/, Ram Bahadur BK was manhandled while reporting protest in Pyuthan on September 9. Pyuthan lies in Lumbini Province of Nepal.
Journalist BK shared with Freedom Forum that the protestors targeted to attack me and my vehicle. They spoke abusive, pushed me and tried to throw upside down my bike but I managed to escape major attack. Thereafter, I have been receiving threatening messages on my mobile asking me to report the news of their interest.
"I couldnot share my colleagues about the incident citing safety of my family", BK added, "But after few days, they started to post abusive comments on my social media page. Thereafter, I shared with my fellow journalists and published about the incident in my online portal.
Freedom Forum condemns the incident.
