Union condemns journalist’s mention in FIR against Congress after Rahul Gandhi’s Pune event

The Pune Union of Working Journalists (PUWJ) has strongly denounced the inclusion of a Marathi news channel journalist in an FIR filed by the College of Engineering Pune (COEP) against members of the National Students Union of India (NSUI) and the Congress following a disturbance at COEP's premises before Rahul Gandhi's event. The journalist, who was present at the COEP hostel premises on August 21, was unjustly implicated in the FIR despite not being present at the time of the incident.

The PUWJ is demanding the removal of the journalist's name from the FIR, arguing that it is an attack on freedom of the press.
