Mumbai: Months after a photojournalist was gangraped in Mumbai’s Shakti Mills, another woman journalist has alleged molestation while covering an event in the financial capital of India.

The journalist has alleged that a group of men molested her while she was on an assignment on Monday on the occasion of Holi. She said that the accused misbehaved with her and even beat up her crew members.

Police today arrested four men for allegedly molesting a woman journalist working with a news channel and assaulting a cameraman who was accompanying her.

“We have arrested four persons, while about 30 to 40 others are wanted,” a police officer said.

The incident happened in suburban Andheri when the journalist and the cameraman were returing in their office vehicle from a shoot and the accused had allegedly blocked the road.

The accused have been booked for unlawful assembly, molestation, rioting and criminal intimidation under the Indian Penal Code, the officer said.
