An India Today news crew, comprising reporter Abdul Basheer and video journalist S. Vijay, was assaulted by unidentified men near a polling booth during urban local body elections in Pulivendula, Andhra Pradesh. Equipment was damaged, with a video camera smashed and mobile phones snatched. The assault triggered a political dispute between the ruling Telugu Desam Party and the opposition YSR Congress Party. The Telugu Desam Party accused the opposition of orchestrating attacks on journalists, while the YSR Congress Party rejected the allegation, calling it a smear campaign and sharing footage of its chief, Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, meeting the injured crew. Clashes were also reported across Palnadu and Anantapur districts.
