Coimbatore: In a harrowing incident, Nesaprabhu, a reporter for News7 TV, was brutally assaulted by unidentified men in Tiruppur. Armed with sickles, the assailants attacked Nesaprabhu, who was subsequently rushed to a hospital in Coimbatore for emergency treatment.

Hours before the attack, Nesaprabhu had informed the local police about being followed by unknown individuals. Despite sharing this critical information, no significant action was taken by the police.

In a shocking audio recording made just minutes before the attack, Nesaprabhu is heard pleading with the police for immediate assistance, fearing for his safety. The police, however, responded by stating they would bring the matter to the inspector's attention.
