Rifat Mohidin was scared as hell on Sunday when the police rained its batons on her car as she sat inside, crying through it all; when all she did was just ask the policemen not to be rude to her. On Sunday, a woman journalist had to go through virtual hell in Kashmir, reported The Telegraph. Rifat Mohidin was deeply scared on Sunday when the police rained its batons on her car as she sat inside, crying through it all; when all she did was just ask the policemen not to be rude to her. She is a correspondent for The Tribune, based in Chandigarh. She had abuses being hurled at her for the simple mistake of expecting somebody to be polite, reported The Telegraph.
“I had never before heard the kind of abuses they hurled at me. They battered my car with their batons, although the windows were spared. I started crying but none dared come to my rescue. I’m still in shock. I have already had a tough time convincing my family that I was safe as a journalist even during these times. If I tell them what happened today, they might not allow me to continue,” Rifat told The Telegraph. Rifat said that on her way, she was stopped at 15 points even though it was just a 3km stretch from Rajbagh to the media center.
