A well-known TV anchor Noorul Arfeen Siddiqui viciously attacked by a group of masked men in Karachi. Siddiqui, recognized for his unfiltered and tough questions to high-profile figures like Chaudhry Aslam, became the target of this brutal assault in the Khokhrapar area of Malir.
A video circulating on social media shows Siddiqui, visibly injured and needing support to stand, narrating the harrowing experience. According to Siddiqui, around 20 to 25 men in black face masks barged into his home on Sunday evening, dragged him outside, and subjected him to a severe beating.
The local police have transported Siddiqui to a hospital for urgent medical care. While the police describe the incident as a scuffle, Siddiqui’s account paints a far grimmer picture. He emphasizes that the assailants masked, making it impossible to identify them. The attack was so ferocious that it resulted in one of his legs being broken.
Siddiqui has made a heartfelt appeal to the Inspector General of Sindh, the governor, and the chief minister, urging them to find and apprehend those responsible for this heinous act. The police have deployed the local DSP and SHO to the scene as investigations are underway.
This brutal attack on Noorul Arfeen Siddiqui highlights the dangers faced by journalists who confront powerful figures and demand accountability. The incident has sparked a wave of support for Siddiqui, with many calling for swift justice and better protection for media professionals.
