He led the attack on offices of Zee media, say protesters

Representatives of press associations on Wednesday met the Jaipur police authorities to submit a memorandum seeking the immediate arrest of members of a caste outfit, in connection with an attack on the offices of Zee Media.

Activists of Karni Sena, a Rajput caste organisation, led by its leader Lokendra Singh Kalvi, allegedly attacked the offices of Zee Media here on Monday. The activists are said to have accused the channel of portraying the Rajput community in less-than-favourable light in the television serial, Jodha Akbar , which is aired on Zee TV.

On Wednesday, office-bearers of all journalist unions in Jaipur gathered in protest and gave a memorandum to ADG, CID-CB, Ajit Singh. Mr. Singh assured the delegation that all the accused would soon be arrested.
