Rakesh Kranti, a reporter with a Hindi daily, was attacked and injured last night and had to be hospitalised, they said.

The doctors this morning operated upon Kranti for multiple fractures in arms and legs.

A group of scribes held an emergency meeting here today and urged the police to nab the miscreants who attacked Kranti.

Later, they called on Superintendent of Police B Satheesh Balan and urged him to register a case against the assailants under Section 307 of the IPC (attempt to murder).

Balan directed the SHO to book the miscreants under Section 307.

The SP told newsmen that a suspect has been called for interrogation.

According to Balan, the attackers were hired by someone who was annoyed with the Kranti's news reports.
