Durgam Cheruvu encroachment, Woman journalist and cameraman harassed

A female journalist and cameraman from RTV were harassed at Durgam Cheruvu on Thursday, August 29, while reporting on houses built within the Full Tank Level (FTL) of the lake in Madhapur. The attackers were reportedly followers of the chief minister’s brother, Anumula Tirupati Reddy.

In a video circulating on social



media, several individuals confronted the journalist and attempted to switch off the camera and prevent her from reporting. The RTV journalist asserted, “We are reporters, and it is our right to cover the story,” and questioned, “Why are you stopping us?” In response, the men reportedly instructed them to leave the area and report elsewhere.
