KARACHI: A reporter and a cameraman were inured as Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) PTI workers attacked an Aaj News DSNG near Mazar-e-Quaid here Sunday.
Earlier, clashes broke out between police and PTI workers after the workers attempted to enter Bagh-e-Jinnah Ground here ahead of a planned rally.
Enraged PTI supporters attacked the vehicle of Aaj News outside the venue, injuring a reporter and a cameraman. Video footage showed protesters pelting stones at a police vehicle near the Numaish Chowrangi area.
