In the other, from Madhya Pradesh, several men, including a journalist, stand huddled in a police station, stripped down to their underwear.

Two other prominent journalists have had look-out notices (LOC) issued against them to prevent them from travelling abroad. Journalist Rana Ayyub could eventually attend a conference overseas
