The female reporter of 24NewsHD TV channel Ms Sameen Nawaz was harassed by the administration of Karachi Expo Centre while the garments of her cameraman were also torn by the administration, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Reportedly, a team of 24NewsHD TV channel went to the vaccination centre set up at Karachi Expo Centre on Sunday for the news coverage. But the administration over there showed a very hostile attitude towards the 24News team. Dr Aneela even thrashed 24News reporter Ms Sameen.
The doctors and scouts were not letting 24News team filming the vaccine campaign at the centre. The Expo Centre administration misbehaved with the 24News reporter and did not let her leave her place. Even Dr Aneela beat her up.
The administration snatched the mobile phone and camera from the 24News team. Scouts tore the shirt of 24News cameraman.
24NewsHD TV strongly condemned the incident of harassing its staff.

Later, Dr Aneela who manhandled 24News reporter Ms Sameen extended her apology. She said she felt sorry over what had happened. This incident should not have happened in the first place, Dr Aneela regretted. She said this incident would be probed and action would also be taken against the scouts who were involved in rough-handedness.
Dr Aneela said that 24News reporter Ms Sameen was meted out such treatment because she and her cameraman entered the Expo Centre without permission and nobody guided them that they were not allowed without permission.
Another lady doctor at Expo Centre told News24 that Dr Aneela had already manhandled a male doctor.
PTI MPA in Sindh Assembly Halim Adil Sheikh condemned the incident saying that Dr Aneela’s behaviour did not behove a doctor.
However, Dr Aneela assured that in future such an incident would never be repeated.
