Guwahti Affair

 I read about this in India Today where it was given that the TV reporter Neogi was also present inside the pub where the girls were there. It was also given that Neogi was taking their picture in his mobile phone camera. Also that he asked two employees of adjacent shop selling liquors to keep the girls when they came out. Now what my thinking is that: Neogi saw the girls sipping drinks in a pub in the night. If a news reporter comes across some girls aged 17 years or so sipping drinks in pubs in the night it is news worthy and started to take photo graphs or video. To this, that is taking photos, the girls objected and there was some altercation between the reporter and the girls party and the club management asked them to clear out. When they came out the reported did not want to have a half finished job and asked his acquaintances (probably) in the Wine Shop to hold the girls till he got the camera crew to shoot a news worthy episode. The girls tried to escape but the persons who were asked to keep must have been rough in dealing with them. Meanwhile all riff-raffs joined in this and matter went much beyond what the reporter had imagined. The camera team came and so the reported must have decided to go ahead with shooting. Instead of girls drinking it became girls being molested. The loose end is what is the RTI activist Akhil Gogoi doing there with a video camera shooting all this? Does he move everywhere with a video camera? Why he himself did not do anything to save the girl and went on shooting? Why he did not call the police immediately he sensed trouble? He should be questioned thoroughly.
