Senior journalist Rajdeep Sardesai was caught on a video recording amidst a scuffle with a crowd in outside Madison Square on Sunday. The incident has led #RajdeepSlapped to break the trend record of #ModiAtMadison on Twitter on Sunday evening.  Watch the video

The miscreants targetted Sardesai for what they believe to be his anti-Modi stance. However, India Today reports that the organiser of the event, Vijay Jolly, apologised to Sardesai for the behaviour of the miscreants.

Rajdeep tweeted: @sardesairajdeep Great crowd at Modison square garden! except a few idiots who still believe abuse is a way of proving their machismo! #ModiAtMadison

@sardesairajdeep Glad we caught the idiots on cam. Only way to shame the mob is to show them. #ModiAtMadison
