The NTK Chief Seeman Threatens Journalist controversy created major uproar in Puducherry on Sunday. NTK chief coordinator S. Seeman faced strong criticism after his confrontation with a journalist during a press conference. Several media bodies condemned his behaviour and demanded action.
According to the complaint, Seeman abused the journalist and issued threats when questioned about party activities. The Villianur Police quickly registered a case under Sections 296(b), 115(2), and 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Officers named Seeman and two of his supporters in the FIR. The incident raised concern among media organisations, who called the attack unacceptable.
Press associations in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry said such actions harm democratic values. They highlighted that the NTK Chief Seeman Threatens Journalist incident shows a growing pattern of intolerance. Journalists urged the government to ensure their safety and demanded strict measures against intimidation.
Seeman has not issued a detailed explanation yet. His party members, however, claimed the journalist provoked him. The case gained attention across the region, and many social media users voiced their support for a free and safe press. The situation continues to develop as the investigation proceeds.
