Aaj Tak Anchor Chitra Tripathi Flees from Farmers' Protest Site in Muzaffarnagar after Confrontation

In a tense incident at the ongoing farmers’ protest near Shikarpur village on Meerut-Saharana Highway, Aaj TV anchor Chitra Tripathi had to run for her life. The reason behind this harrowing experience was an altercation that broke out between the protesters and Ms. Tripathi when she allegedly made some remarks during a live telecast.

According to eyewitnesses who witnessed the entire incident unfold before their very eyes, the confrontation took place near Sector 18 of Muzaffarnagar around 2 pm on Friday afternoon. As per reports reaching us so far, hundreds of farmers had gathered at this location as part of their ongoing nationwide protest against several contentious agricultural laws that were recently passed by Parliament.

During her live coverage from the site for Aaj Tak news channel owned by Bennett & Co., Ms Tripathi allegedly made some comments which apparently did not go down well with a section of these protesting farmers present there. Enraged and agitated over what they felt was an attempt to defame them through such remarks, many among this group of protesters reportedly lunged at the anchor.

As per sources close to the incident who wished anonymity so that their identities are not revealed due to fear reprisals from powerful quarters involved in this matter, Ms. Tripathal was seen running for her life while being chased by a mob of furious farmers brandishing sticks and batons.

The situation further deteriorated when some of these angry protesters allegedly tried to vandalize the Aaj Tak news van parked nearby where the anchor had reached after escaping from the scene earlier today afternoon.

Meanwhile, senior police officials including Superintendent of Police (City) Muniratna Singh have rushed to spot in order to restore law and maintain peace at this sensitive location. Ms Tripathi has been taken into protective custody till further notice until calm returns back normalcy is restored completely across entire district of Muzaffarnagar.

This unfortunate incident once again highlights the increasing tensions between different sections of society including journalists who are simply discharging their constitutional duties while reporting live from conflict zones without facing any kind of threats or intimidation from either side involved in these ongoing agitations happening across various parts of country today.
