Assault with 4pm Journalist: Asking questions and raising voice against wrong, this is the soul of journalism. But what happens when they are beaten just for doing their work? Journalism, which is called the fourth pillar of democracy, is also not safe today. If the protectors become the predators, then who can expect security?
After all, what was the mistake of journalist Shaheen Khan and his colleague Nafisa Khan? What crime had he committed that such brutality was meted out to him? Digital media journalist Shaheen Khan of ‘4PM News Network’ and her colleague Nafisa Khan were misbehaved by Delhi Police by asking them about their religion.
Delhi Police brutalizes female journalist by asking her identity
Was his being a Muslim his crime? This country is considered a symbol of unity in diversity, but when Delhi Police can do such brutal misbehavior with Muslim women journalists (Assault with 4pm Journalist), then what will be the condition of the general public?
Today the poison of communal differences and hatred has spread to such an extent in the country that man has lost even his humanity. Till now, there were reports of terrorist organizations targeting innocent people by asking for identity, but when the guardians of the law start being accused of torturing and beating them by asking for religious identity, then such incidents put humanity and the entire democratic system to shame.
When 4PM journalist Shaheen asked a question to Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, Delhi Police took her into custody and beat her.
Shaheen says- ‘When the policemen came to know that he was a Muslim, he was beaten more brutally. There are wounds on his body… the cameraperson is also lying unconscious…’… pic.twitter.com/62GmWnZgTz— Nedrick News (@nedricknews) September 3, 2026
Unlike books and novels, this scary face of Khaki
On one hand, Amit Lodha’s ‘Meri Khaki Meri Zindagi’ and O.P. Singh’s famous books like ‘Khaki in Action’ show the sacrifice, justice and protective aspect of police, on the other hand, this news from Saket police station of Delhi exposes a different and scary face of this ‘Khaki’. In books and novels, Khaki, which is shown as a protector and a symbol of justice, when in reality the same Khaki faces serious allegations of brutality against women journalists and harassing them by asking for religious identity, then it raises a big question mark on the system. Is this form of khaki limited only to the ideals of paper novels?
Big question on claims of women’s safety and saving daughters (Assault with 4pm Journalist)
Today, a big question arises from the system that thrives on women’s safety and Beti Bachao, has it now become a crime to be a female journalist in this country? When, under the cover of uniform, the guards themselves publicly drag a female journalist to the police station and beat her up, then how can half of the country’s population consider themselves safe? When the guardians of the law take the law into their own hands, then to whom should we appeal for justice?
