On Camera, Man Carrying Sword Vandalises TV Channel's Office In Chennai

The accused was seen in a CCTV footage released by the channel, Sathiyam TV, carrying a sword and a shield and damaging properties.

A man carrying a sword entered the headquarters of Sathiyam TV, a popular satellite channel in Chennai, and damaged properties on Tuesday. CCTV footage released by the channel showed the man, carrying a sword and a shield, ransacking properties. "He entered the office premises through the car parking area. He carried the weapons in a guitar bag," the channel's managing director, Isaac Livingstone, told NDTV. Mr Livingstone claimed he was the target. He said the man, now arrested, kept asking for him and “he thought I was safely locked in a room.” On whether there was any possible trigger or motive behind the attack, he said, "We did not do any story against any individual. We don't know what's behind this".
