Following the shameful attack on Republic TV's crew at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) on Tuesday, a video has now been accessed where the mob's full and uncut frenzy can be seen by all.

The events in the video take place shortly after AMU staff had attacked Republic TV's Nalini Sharma and Sumaira Khan, as well as their crewmembers, who had at that point been broadcasting a live report.

SHAMEFUL: Republic Crew Attacked On AMU Campus, Cops Fail To Offer Protection, Attackers Persist Despite Being Caught On Camera

In the video, Republic TV's crew can be seen exiting the campus on the instructions of the local police. Just a short distance away from the gate, the Republic TV camera can be made out videographing the large group of students that were following close behind.

A large amount of commotion can clearly be made out, and at that point, some of the students decide to charge at Republic TV's video journalist Santosh. Within seconds, the mob descends on him and surrounds him, pushes him into an adjoining lawn, and snatches the camera from him, proceeding to destroy it.

The atrocious hooliganism followed equally reprehensible behaviour from staff at AMU that had resorted to manhandling Republic TV's reporters and forcibly stopping a live broadcast.

In the video of the attack, the AMU staff-member can be seen demanding whether permission had been taken - after first having physically unleashed himself on Republic TV's crew. He continued his brazen intimidation even after the Police arrived.

Speaking to Republic TV after the attack, the MP under whose constituency AMU falls, assured action against the miscreants:

"I condemn the attack on Nalini Sharma and Sumaira Khan. I appeal to the channel's reporters to file an FIR - arresting is my duty. The people who have done this will be investigated and action will be taken. Today the way journalists have been attacked and behaved with, I assure arrests by the evening. Nobody will do goondagiri and it will not be tolerated."

Here is a first-hand account of the attack by Republic TV's Nalini Sharma:

I was reporting live on air when a person who identifies himself as Azeem Akhtar, Security Officer AMU came forward & asked us to stop. Since I was live on air, I didnt respond to what he was saying. He then got agitated that he was being ignored& began messing with our equipment — Nalini 🌼 (@nalinisharma_) February 12, 2019

I immediately got off air once he touched our equipment &asked him to back off. A no. of students gathered around us by this time and started to heckle us asking us to get out of the campus. My cameraperson was pushed around by students and our equipment was manhandled. — Nalini 🌼 (@nalinisharma_) February 12, 2019

This was just the beginning. Slowly the crowd began to grow and there was not one police official in sight. The college security asked us to move out of the campus and as we waited for our car, the verbal heckling began to get physical with students constantly attacking us. — Nalini 🌼 (@nalinisharma_) February 12, 2019

When we tried to fight back, our camera and other equipment was snatched from us. We were physically pushed, verbally abused and harassed. The camera was broken into pieces before us when we tried to record the hooligan behaviour that the students were indulging in. — Nalini 🌼 (@nalinisharma_) February 12, 2019

After our camera was snatched and broken, these students formed a human chain at the gate of the campus urging the others to “not allow these women” to leave the campus “at any cost”. When we tried to break through the chain, we were pushed back and physically threatened. — Nalini 🌼 (@nalinisharma_) February 12, 2019

My female colleague and I with the help of three of our male colleagues managed to push through the human chain and somehow get out of the campus. Outside the police officials were present, watching the drama unfold at the gate of the AMU campus. — Nalini 🌼 (@nalinisharma_) February 12, 2019

We literally ran to our cars while the crowd (150-200 students) continued to chase us. The police provided no help. Our equipment was completely damaged (and set on fire, we were informed later) and anyone trying to record the incident was attacked and their phones broken. — Nalini 🌼 (@nalinisharma_) February 12, 2019

I want to clarify, there was NO provocation from our side to invite this attack. I didn’t even speak to anybody inside the AMU campus until we were surrounded by this crowd of hooligans who continued saying how they’re not going to let us report because we were from Republic. — Nalini 🌼 (@nalinisharma_) February 12, 2019

I’ve never experienced intimidation like this. Once outside the campus, I requested the local administration to retrieve our camera because it had the complete footage of everything that had happened. They said they had “no authority” inside the campus and couldn’t help us. — Nalini 🌼 (@nalinisharma_) February 12, 2019

This is a first hand account of what happened today. Any other version of the story is simply untrue. We have some footage from phones of local journos but most of it has been destroyed. Multiple locals& police officials have told me this kind of occurance is “very common” in AMU — Nalini 🌼 (@nalinisharma_) February 12, 2019
