Rant Alert: I don& #39;t know #tanushreepandey personally but when I saw the work she did, in the dead of the night, in the circumstances she was in, I realised how she actually risked her life. #Hathras 1/n

As a woman reporter who has been on the field, I can assure people on Twitter that what #tanushreepandey did took a LOT of guts and commitment. I saw a few mins of two channels I have worked for, and saw how they were attacking Tanushree for ‘coaching’ the family. #Hathras 2/n

I can assure the non-journalists here that if audio tapes of journalists, particularly most on these two channels, it will shock and disgust any human. What #tanushreepandey was doing is coaxing. #Hathras 3/n

Many journalists have had to & #39;coax& #39; our sources, subjects many many times because people are often reluctant to speak the truth. Or just speak. That is not called coaching. It is called doing the job of a reporter. Ask any reporter this. #Hathras 4/n

Stop going after #tanushreepandey , you vultures. This is not even just about her. For some contorted agenda you are even trying to justify all that is happening in #Hathras. Just how sick are you? -END-
