A disturbing incident has gone viral from Basti, Uttar Pradesh.

Journalist Vivek Dwivedi was allegedly attacked while reporting on fuel issues linked to an oil syndicate.

He was stopped during coverage, verbally abused, and physically assaulted.

The Press Council of India has demanded strict action in the case.

This raises a serious question: If journalists are not safe while doing their job, how will the truth ever come out?

Journalism is not just a profession – it is the backbone of democracy.

What do you think about rising attacks on journalists in India?
