| A group of 15-20 people calling themselves the Hindu Samrajya Sena ransacked NDTV's office in Ahmedabad for airing an SMS poll on Bharat Ratna with famous painter M F Husain as a contender.
The members of the Right-wing Hindu group barged into NDTV's office, broke furniture, destroyed studio equipment and even smashed the air-conditioners and other electrical fittings.
One of the staff member, who was in the office at the time, was attacked and beaten up with hockey sticks.
The attackers plastered NDTV's office with poster and banners describing the channel as traitors and demanded an apology.
The same group had threatened NDTV two days ago. It is believed to be affiliated to the Shiv Sena.
The police took more than an hour to respond to the incident despite phone calls. However, they have finally registered a case
