News agency UNI's Delhi office sealed amid heavy police deployment after court order

NEW DELHI: (Mar 21) Amid heavy police deployment, news agency UNI's office in Delhi was sealed by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs' Land and Development Office (L&DO) on Friday following a high court order -- a move the media organisation termed as an "unprecedented atrocity" and "attack on freedom of media".

The news agency also alleged that their female staff members were manhandled by the police team.

However, Deputy Commissioner of Police (New Delhi) Sachin Sharma told PTI that legal process was followed and no wrongdoings happened as everything was videographed.
