CCTV Footage of attack. In a blatant attack on freedom of expression and right to information, an unruly mob stormed the offices of Nepal Republic Media at JDA Complex, Sundhara and manhandled journalists and office staff, Thursday afternoon, 20 December 2012. The hooligans, who shouted "Shiva Sena Jindabad", forcibly entered the offices of the media house, which publishes Republica and Nagarik dailies and Shukrabar weekly, and assaulted Kishor Nepal, editor-in-chief of Nagarik and Shukrabar. Though the Shiva Sena ´cadres´ claimed to be visiting the office to express their dissatisfaction over content in Shukrabar, they did not give any opportunity to Nepal and other journalists to explain. Despite consistent requests by the journalists for a peaceful dialogue, the mob stormed into the office and threatened to burn it down. The hooligans not only manhandled Nepal but several other journalists, including Sudarshan Sapkota, Bishwomani Pokharel, Rajendra Gyawali, Sworoop Acharya and Madan Chaudhary received blows and kicks in the fracas. They also misbehaved with Sabina Shrestha, a receptionist, who tried to stop them from entering the office. They likewise attacked security guards Shyam Bahadur Phunyal and Sher Bahadur Gurung. They even collected several copies of the newspapers and tried to burn them right inside the newsroom. But timely intervention by police stopped the situation from going out of control. Police had to call in reinforcements to control the mob. "This is an attempt to fish in troubled waters at a time when the country is in transition," said Kishor Nepal. "Many groups try this sort of thing to gain cheap popularity." He deplored the attack and termed it an attack against free press and right to information. Police have detained at least a dozen individuals who later turned out to be members of the Shiva Sena Nepal. Those arrested include Shiva Sena general secretary Madhab Prasad Bhandari, 34, of Makawanpur along with 12 wing leaders of the group.
