In a statement issued on October 9, the Guild expressed concern over the allegations and said the police had yet to take cognisance of the matter.
The Guild called on the Delhi Police and the Union Home Ministry to frame clear guidelines for police and security personnel, similar to those issued for protesters, to protect journalists while they carry out their duties.
It also urged security personnel to exercise caution and refrain from coercion or violence against journalists, emphasising that media professionals must be allowed to work without fear, obstruction or intimidation.
