The Guwahati Press Club has raised concerns over the arrest of a journalist in Assam over his report on the alleged hit-and-run case in the Biswanath district of the state. The body alleged the Assam Police has been trying to “harass” working journalists for several years now.<\/p>\n

Abdul Majan, a journalist working with a news portal, reported about a hit-and-run case last Sunday from Biswanath district allegedly involving the son of an influential politician.<\/p>\n

Police sources said there was a countercase filed against the journalist for false reporting of the alleged hit-and-run incident in which he was arrested on Monday night. He was presented before the court and was given bail.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Guwahati Press Club President Susmita Goswami and General Secretary Sanjay Roy said the police administration has been physically and mentally torturing journalists under various pretexts for some years.<\/p>\n
