Opposition-aligned broadcaster Raajje TV is seeking international assistance to investigate the arson attack that destroyed its main office earlier this month – alleging concern at potential state involvement in the crime.
Police have so far confirmed that three individuals aged 18, 21, and 24 have been arrested over their alleged roles in fire bombing the private broadcaster, with investigations ongoing to identify other suspects involved.
A police media official declined to provide any more information on the investigation at time of press, beyond confirmation of the arrest of three suspects.
Six assailants were pictured committing the attack on CCTV. The attackers also stabbed a security guard for the building.
