Guwahati molestation: TV reporter to be grilled

July 16, 2012 20:45

Gaurav Jyoti Neog, a reporter from the news channel that filmed and broadcast a young girl being molested by a mob in Guwahati, will be interrogated by the Assam police, reports NDTV.

Senior officers have told the home ministry that Neog appears to be a good friend of the main accused in the case, a man named Amar Jyoti Kalita, who remains untraceable despite being clearly visible in the footage, according to the report.

Eight people have been arrested so far, including two today, for their role in the molestation that has outraged the country. Neog was at the pub in Guwahati where the crime took place. He resigned from the TV channel News Live over the weekend to ensure a free and fair trial, according to his news editor.
