Reacting to this incident he said, "As it was Diwali, all the journalists were in Matabari to cover news. When I came out from office after hearing their shouts, they started threatening me. They claimed themselves as sons and brothers of some ruling party leaders without taking their names. They also said that they keep police and administration into their sleeves and nobody will take action against them. They even attacked on me and my father physically. When people came to spot, they escaped from the place".
