Thiruvananthapuram sources have stated that the office of a Kerala news channel, Asianet, was attacked early this morning, where an editor who has been reporting on the allegedly illegal activities of a minister was sleeping at the office when it was vandalized and is unhurt. Meanwhile the windows of a car used by the staff at Asianet were smashed at the channel's office in Alapuzza, 145 kilometers from the capital of Thiruvananthapuram.




Furthermore the journalist who was inside the office at the time of the attack has been reporting on the illegal appropriation of land by a minister in the Left-led coalition government. Asianet Editor MG Radhakrishnan told that "They don't know who did this, but TV Prasad from Alappuzha has been continuously doing stories against influential people. And based upon circumstantial evidence they felt he has been targeted for doing those stories”.
