Seven media workers have been attacked while attempting to gather news on alleged student ragging at Barishal’s Sher-e-Bangla Medical College. The journalists allege that they were attacked by a group led by the principal and two teachers on Saturday afternoon on the college campus, reports bdnews24.com. "A student at the medical college went to the principal's office to complain about ragging,” said Channel 24 cameraman Ruhul Amin. Kausar Hossain Rana, bureau chief of Channel 24, believes that the attack was carried out to protect those involved in ragging. The student then went to the principal to complain about the incident and the journalists were attacked soon afterwards.
