When Rajdeep assaulted me
148 comments:
-
Please make him pay for this. Make a police complaint and sue him
-
Thanks for writing your side of the story. Rajdeep must have been acting on someone’s instructions for a price. Truth should prevail. Let all know it through a court case.
-
Kudos to you for standing upto this bully. He thinks he can get away with whatever things he says. Such a dolt.
-
-
Mate – I appreciate your restraint as clearly seen in the picture. I am going to forward the blog so people know of the truth(which they already know from the video).
-
-
Why did you not kick in the balls? Your reaction was very mild. You had so many people with you, you should have at least given him few solid ones.
-
-
If he assaulted you first, as the videos I have seen appear to show, then you have a case for assault and battery. You need to consult a lawyer. From what I know, assault does not have to involve physical contact — that is battery.
The wiki says, “An assault is carried out by a threat of bodily harm coupled with an apparent, present ability to cause the harm. It is both a crime and a tort and, therefore, may result in either criminal and/or civil liability. Generally, the common law definition is the same in criminal and tort law. There is, however, an additional criminal law category of assault consisting of an attempted but unsuccessful battery. The term is often confused with battery, which involves physical contact.”
Best wishes.
-
Sir, with the clear evidence available on camera, please go ahead and resgister a complaint with the cops for assault and battery. Make him understand that his ‘holier than thou’ attitude does not entitle him to verbally and physically assault another person. All self respecting and proud Indians are in solidarity with you.

Please file an Assault and Battery complaint. Lets show this congi where he belongs.
-
Please make him pay for this. I support you my friend. He should be barred entering US again. He shouldnt get away. Please file Police complaint ASAP before he leaves US. We will make this article viral in social media. Well done brother!!
-
Mahendar, I am proud of what u did. U stood up to a bully. He came with a vendetta to paint supporters there as rabid mobs and liken them with rioters. sadly his plan failed and his uppity got exposed.
-
Proud of you! You proved 2 things:
1) NRIs don’t become any less Indians after leaving India
2) NRIs will stand shoulder to shoulder with their brothers & sisters at home to right size the modern “Mir Jaffers” & “Jai Chands”Jai Hind!
-
We are with you. Lets take legal opinion locally, we will raise money if we need to.
-
Kudos to your restraint! Though, I wished you had kicked this SOB in his balls. After all this, the ROGUE goes about playing victim. The scum bag needs to come to his knees. I sincerely urge you to lodge a complaint and get this guy into the legal wrangle here. Please!
-
Great job buddy! Thanks for sharing the details through this blog. NRIs all over the globe, Patriots all over the Nation are with you!
-
“…son of the Indian Test cricketer Dilip Sardesai,..”. Sadly in a country as classist as India, this kind of sentence tells you all you need to know about a person’s character. Indian Americans may have been advantaged relative to the average Indian, but we had to leave to escape the feudalistic system that these rich Indians created to monopolize opportunity. Now we’ve surpassed the success of Indian good-for-nothing gentry and we’re coming back to take back what these elitist, Rahul Gandhis of India have taken from the common people who work hard and earn what they have. Modi is a perfect example of that. Indian Americans stood behind this common man from day one, and he will make strides in ending neo-fuedalism in India. If Sardesai gets drunk and runs over a family of homeless Indians, he would get away with it. We should have shown him that day what its like to be on the receiving end of this.
-
These guys have fed on congi loot gutter for too long & hence feeling deprived.
-
I’m glad you pushed that stupid S.O.B.. He is behaved in a disgusting manner. He had no right to place his hands on you. He should be ashamed of himself. He is a Hindu hating peace of garbage!
-
Mahender, kudos for your blog. That is not enough. Lets file a case against RS and his channel and get it banned from entering US solil. That will make RS untouchable by any other media. Call me 732-824-4040 – and i will find resources for the case and destroying RS and any channel he works for
-
Don’t just let him go scotfree, being a senior journalist he should have behaved himself,known his limits, it goes to prove that he was not there to report PMs US trip but was there precisely to create a scene to bring bad name to our PM
-
Kudos to you my friend, for standing up for the country and the people of India. Scums like Rajdeep Sardesai have been the reason this country got left behind in the committee of nations. Now when there is one leader who dreams to change all that, these guys have tried their best to push that back. Your standing up to him only shows that things are changing. There is hope, for sure!
-
I was there, he was calling for all this. His behavior was completely childish, every small thing mattered. It was as if his first job was to get into all this , and his so called journalism job was secondary ..!!!
I pity him..!!
Kudos to you and people around there, who kept real cool after all the provocation/instigation!!!
-
Please press charges. Hopefully he will either rot in jail or will never be able to get into the country again- that will be natural justice.
-
He should a get a taste of American Prison. Go for it. File the case.
-
Yes, you should file a case for assault and abuse and maligning you.
-
He is an anti-national working against India from quite sometime.He needs to be sent to Pakistan.
-
I think he was intentionally provoking NRIs so that the PMs visit gets negative coverage. But the more they try to defame NaMo the more success he is making.
Good you stood up. Nothing wrong in pushing back a bully. -
Journalism comes with responsibility, loyalty and obligation to serve the truth and truth alone. NewsTraders must be sacked and it’s high time to raise voice against those who indulge in unethical practices and misuse this profession just to satisfy their personal needs and opinions! Rajdeep must be sacked and thanks Mahender for bringing it to everyone’s notice!
-
Rajdeep has always indulged in such low class activities.. He should be tought a lesson in US… Please sue him in a US court
-
This guy sold his soul to devil to get one of India’s highest honours, the Padma Vibhushan. He didn’t report on the Cash for votes scam. Rajdeep, some day you will get your comeuppance. Now all this drama to sell his book.
Anyway Mahender, you’re a national hero. I don’t know if you slapped him, but if you did, thanks. I hope this starts a trend.
-
I don’t know what Modi did. Let’s assume Modi did something in 2002. But this guy is running with a personal vendetta against him. So who’s a bigger hater? Modi or Rajdeep? Rajdeep you’re a rotten mind. You’re going Senile.
-
See boss your version is getting defeated by the big-fish friends of Rajdeep. Unless you give complaint you are not vindicated. Atleast approach a lawyer.
-
Please, please, please do not let go of this culprit. Sue him, file a police complaint, get him arrested, let him rot in jail for a few years. Such uncivilized behaviour is unacceptable, Rajdeep has to spend the next few years in jail. I cannot believe he graduated from Oxford University. He behaved like an illiterate, well actually he behaved worse than illiterates. Get him thrown in jail. I want to see him in court in shackles.
-
You should have smacked his face mate. He is trying to show his innocence via his media friends. We all stand tall with you. Sadly indian media is a puppet at foreign hands and journalist like him act at the call of foreign masters.
-
We are at Fault
We clamour around these news journalist as if they are hero’s of modern time, fighting for India, instead they are chamchas of the 1st order, looking forward to remunerations in form of awards by their political friends. And we have placed them next to Bollywood hero’s and heroine’s.
POLITICIANS breed them for their own selfish motos. Almost all journalists have aligned themselves with some political party I.e Rajdeep with Congress
Rajat Sharma with BJP
The list goes on …
Instead we all should follow and admire the unknown CAMERAMEN who risk their lives to bring the truth via their perfectly timed shots.
World over CAMERAMEN are respected except in India.
Its high time we stop hero worshiping these jounalists and get to know the cameramen instead by names and start following them instead of these Chamcha Journalist’s. -
Very brave of you brother … He deserved every bit of it and more
There is a petition that is being run online
I urge everyone to sign this petition:
Disallow Mr. Rajdeep Sardesai from participating and embarrassing India in any international event in the future

-
Proud of you sir…If you don’t know yet, let me tell you that you are a Hero now in India…I saw/heard lot of discussions about this incident and vast majority are supporting you. God bless you
-
You said it. He is a hater. Do complaint to the police. In india he will escape in the garb of a journo , not thr..
-
Thanks for your version. Zee News alos to be commended for showing the Truth
-
If your version is correct then file a complaint directly with NYPD. The Indian govt. and PMO has gone with Rajdeep’s version.

Man you are my hero. You have done what millions could not do here in India. Mera shat shat naman
Rajdeep says ‘So what you guys are saying is that the “Media” was unfair to Modi’ (this part is not on videos I have seen).
This link is available on youtube. -
Please file a complaint with NYPD. He has compounded the offense by using his position to act as if he is the victim.
Rajdeep Sardesai has been for a long time acting like a subversive agent on behalf of the Breaking India forces. He has a demented mind that twists the truth to suit some very nefarious objectives.

The Rajdeep Sardesai video no one will post on youtube or Social Media!
Rajdeep was already trending on twitter after what happened earlier in the day before the Modi’s speech at the Madison Square Garden. You guys saw that the video, didn’t you. (This was shot before PM arrived at Madison Square Garden) But this is the episode that no one will tell you about, and in fact, I DARE EVERY ONE OF YOU WHO RECORDED THIS BUT WON’T POST IT FOR REASONS NOT TO BE NAMED.
Senior journalist Rajdeep Sardesai. Image courtesy: IBNliveSenior journalist Rajdeep Sardesai. Image courtesy: IBNlive
The Story Part II ( Right after the event at Madison Square Garden) I was at Times Square when I heard or in fact read about it as the screen out there flashed a tweet about Rajdeep’s episode earlier in the day.
Once done interviewing and usual stuff, took a walk down to Madison Square Garden. The Venue where Rajdeep was heckled in the morning. By the time I reached, the speech was still on, so took a pit-stop right across the street at my hotel to charge the batteries of my cell phone and my digicam.
I return, interviewed a couple of people on their way out. But while I interviewed the last family, I hear some noise, quite different from ‘Har Har Modi’ or the ‘Modi Modi’ chant across the 7th Avenue. I turn around only to find Rajdeep Sardesai and a senior cameraperson in the middle of a mob trying to calm down a group of approximately 50 people around him. My first Reaction: Are these guys for real?
Second reaction: To see if any other TV crew was there, none! I barge in, just to check if Rajdeep was alright. Yes, he was. Smiling, calm, and trying to reason out a crowd which wasn’t prepared to listen to anything he said. Then the pushing and shoving begins. A barrage of abuses follow. Why? Probably because of Rajdeep’s tweet about an influential person staying in the same hotel as Narendra Modi’s.
The mob called him by names and hurled the choicest of words towards him. When I tried to shield the fellow journalist, I realised, that I became a target as well. This went on for good 10-15 minutes. The NYPD was right there, but won’t blame them for not knowing what was going on in the middle of that crowd of 50 odd people. The cameraman had to ensure his equipment was safe, so was trying his best he could, to fend off a few people who tried to come closer to Rajdeep. This went on for good 10 minutes.
Despite my repeated requests to stay away from Rajdeep, the mob continued to shout pro-Modi slogans right in front of his face to instigate him. A particular person wearing glasses, and once again in an orange attire, almost shoved his phone into the cameraman’s lens to which Rajdeep protested.
Luckily, fellow scribes Mohit Roy Sharma and Bhupendra Chaubey arrived at the scene. Three of us literally made a human chain, to get Rajdeep out of that place. I’m sure all of this is on tape as the cameraman might have stopped recording, but the PCR back in India would have everything that transpired in front of that camera lens.
I say this with conviction that a lot of people had their cameras rolling as well. The abuses, the pushing and shoving, and the instigation, all on tape.
Yes, you have every right to be a supporter, but let’s not mix a fan with a fanatic. Learn to respect other people. Learn to respect to earn respect. Just a few minutes ag o, the Prime Minster delivered a lovely speech about peace and how India is a great democracy. But you guys defy all logic.
I hope this post is shared and reaches all the people who saw the second episode right in front of their eyes and captured it on their cameras.
Look inside you, and just think what you did and ponder upon what you could have done.
Peace
Mr mahendra u r misleading people with ur baseless version -
Mahendar, please file a complaint and update the blog. These are the kind of incidents where we feel helpless in India(unless you know some influential person), but that is not the case in US. Please follow up with all the evidence. I am no fan of any person, but I just don’t want to see someone getting away with chalta hai attitude. So please, file a complaint and update us all.
-
This man Rajdeep Sardesai has a pathological hatred for our PM (whom I would rather prefer to describe as LEADER) Mr Narendra Modi, BJP and anyone who talks Nationalism. His hatred is so intense that many a times his Psychopathic behaviour, his frustration and irritation immediately reflects on his face and body as soon as anybody starts praising Mr Modi or BJP.
I am Proud of you my brother and love you so much.
Kudos to you. You taught a good lesson to this man (whom I won’t call a journalist, he is rather a blabbering TV anchor who tries to satisfy his egos by abusing any one who welcomes Mr Modi)
He is a blot on his profession and is unable to conceal his emotions.
Anytime you visit India do give me an honour to host a dinner for you.
Regards
Anshu -
You should file a complaint about this pathetic creature
-
-
-
You have stood up for decency and manners of Indians.You should definitely file a police complaint and have this newstrader jailed. I saw the questions asked by RS live and felt that he had an agenda.He shouldn’t escape unpunished.
-
You done super work of all Indian to exposed NewsTraders on TV Camera Great Sir My request if possible please book case against RAJDEEP Criminal as well as defame INDIAN US Citizon
-
Please…please file a complaint…with NYPD. We will back you. The videos tell a story of itself. RS made the mistake that he will not get back in kind. He showed his goondagiri….he broke when it mattered the most. He wilted when he needed to stand tall.
His line of questioning itself was incorrect and ill-timed. It shows his dhimmitude
-
-
Brother, we are with you. Please give police complaint on Rajdeep Sardesai and put him into jail.
-
Sir – we are all with you. Let TOI and the other presstitutes do as much propaganda as they want – and let them lie that Rajdeep was attacked, we all know the truth and the evidence is all over the internet.
I am sure you will take legal recourse and make Rajdeep pay for this.
The only thing to rue is that you are too civilized for Rajdeep. Once he had physically assaulted you and you had self-defense on your side, Rajdeep should have been taught a lesson he never forgets. How I wish he pushes me once.
-
NRI’s…please take quick steps and get Rajdeep arrested by the NYPD….Otherwise it is of no use and he’ll continue doing this…
-
Rajdeep Sardesai and many like him are plenty in our Country who are blot on the name of Journalism. They are news traders and have accumulated huge wealth using their profession.He was the person involved in cash for vote scam and helped congress to bail out. You have replied him suitably. Hats Off to you.
-
-
Bro ….we are all with u..newstrader no 1 has ashamed Indians in India as well as abroad….please lodge a complaint and do justice
-
I congratulate you first.
Quoting TimesOfIndia –> ‘Wait till the honeymoon period is over. Then he will realize how much he needs us,” hissed one senior scribe who is covering the PM’s visit.
source –> http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Modi-and- the-media-and-the-mania-Its- complicated/articleshow/ 43828881.cms If Senior journalist want to see a Crowd Frenzy, they should visit Tamil Nadu after the court concluded that a politician was guilty of corruption.
If Senior journalist wants to question integrity of a Representative of People of India, they should have questioned the previous un-elected Representatives of Republic of India.
It seems the senior journalists don’t consider themselves as sane voice and focusing on issues marring the Nation, but it seems happy to play a role of brokers for those aspiring to rule our Nation.
-
Bro we all are with u….news trader no 1,has ashamed all Indians living in India and abroad..please lodge complaint against him and do justice
-
How soon can we get this shitdeep behind bars… i am eagerly waiting for this moment.
-
he isnt just a hater. he is a traitor. he needs to be thrown out of the country.
-
Both of you have acted like juveniles and brought disgrace to India during an important occasion. The whole affair seems like two students who fought in class and then point fingers at each other and say ‘he did it first’ to escape the teacher’s punishment. What happens in the end? The teacher sends both the boys out for disturbing the class! Grow up and behave. If you have differences talk it out like adults or agree to disagree, don’t drag it out on the streets as abuse and fisticuffs. Shameful.
-
we should hear from rajdeep sir im sure opposite person must have done or said somethng wrong. mr.rajdeep is a senior journalist simply he would not abuse tht too whn he knws he is n other country.
in common public everybody abuses or pushed tht dosent mean we should sack everybody -
Today is Sept 30, 2014 and Rajdeep is in DC. Please file the police report against this idiot. If you need help contact me (Mahendra Sapa) on FB and I”ll be happy to walk the talk.

One great country like india with 1.25 billions under dynasty rule after 1947 was sold out to minority .Minority whose ancestors are also Same DNA but their mind is control by remote by saudis . India gave away 500 millions hindus to islam ( let them convert and remain muslim christian) and christian. They have Hindu body( DNA) but ISlamic mind set . Dynasty Nehru looks like had A muslim mInd too. He supported islam and we are still facing the same laws. Hindu need a Hindu nation where hindu are safe respected Hindu need hindu education One billion with no nation have no future. When converts can declare Pakistan and Bangladesh as ISlamic nation why we non converts Hindus can’t have a Hindu nation.
-
Bro. We are all with you. Just file complaint against him ASAP and give him a lesson.
I would like to share complete compilation of this incident. It will help you.
How Rajdeep Sardesai provoked crowd, attacked NRI & played victim game in New York
http://guruprasad.net/posts/rajdeep-sardesai-provoked- crowd-attacked-nri-played- victim-game-new-york/ -
Agreed: “I believe you just cannot carry your personal battle with your PM onto foreign soil and cause harm to the country.”
I just want to say, Be strong and Good. Evil will destroy himself !! -
Rajdeep is a big news trader…. he must be jailed at N.Y.
-
Rajdeep is a serial Modi hater and there are no two opinions abt that. He was there to spoil the party. Please write to PMO, am sure you will get all the support you need in this matter.
-
Grt, you expressed yourself .. now please go ahead and drag this genius in courts.
-
-
Sir you have done an excellent job by taking this step and exposing such 2 faced journalist.
-
“I believe you just cannot carry your personal battle with your PM onto foreign soil and cause harm to the country”
What are you talking about?!
How does foreign soil or desi soil make a difference. A question asked by a journo anywhere in the world would hold good BECAUSE THAT IS HIS JOB!!
It is his job to ask questions whether you like it not. Not every journalist has to have a personal battle to report a news.
Everyone has an opinion, which probably would not match yours. Live with it! Thats the beauty of democracy. The world does not revolve around you.If you do not like the question he asked, just say so. Its just plain stupid to heckle/ intimidate and chant anti-journalist slogan.
Its just shameful that the fight turned physical.
But tell me, if you went about doing your job(whatever that may be) and 100 people start heckling around you and start chanting slogans against you, would you go and hug them? -
A SENIOR JOURNALIST FROM INDIA WHO SHAMED MEDIA AND THE COUNTRY THROUGH HIS BEHAVIOUR
It is unfortunate that on such a solemn occasion at NY, just ahead of the Prime Minister’s much-awaited speech to thousands of the Indian Diaspora, a Senior journalist from India openly indulged in highhandedness and exhibited the height of his arrogance. He has shamed media and the country through his behaviour. A good news in this connection is that Media in India has finally woken up to the reality of filth within and has started responding to it. Here is a link to Zee News giving a detailed coverage on the incident and questioning Rajdeep Sardesai: http://tinyurl.com/qa94uxb ‘This is the right opportunity and we must maintain the pressure till Rajdeep is brought to book. Modi-followers don’t want to sit quite letting irresponsible and unethical media people like Rajdeep get away with their mischief. As most have indicated in their comments, Rajdeep has fallen in terms of journalistic standards’. Read and sign Petition at http://tinyurl.com/krm96rb (‘Remove Rajdeep Sardesai from Headlines Today channel’) by Nagaraja Gundappa Bengaluru. As this petition reveals: 1. Rajdeep Sardesai called a person who had gathered to watch Narendra Modi’s event in Newyork an asshole and then misbehaved by physically pushing him and then got pushed back and then showed only the video footage of him being pushed back to portray as if he has been victimised. This is dirty trick politics that does not befit a journalist. 2. He has shown a classist attitude and insulted the NRIs by declaring that they have money but no class. 3. He abuses people for supporting Mr. Narendra Modi in New York calling them frenzied crowd just because he was heckled. How Rajdeep Sardesai throws the first punch at NaMo supporters and then claims victim-hood? See video here: http://tinyurl.com/kkqzoew The truth is that angry Rajdeep Sardesai at Madison Square Garden NYC Sep 28, 2014,tried to grab a person in the gathering http://tinyurl.com/lu5dfcq READ MORE: Rajdeep Sardesai attacked a person, his fellow media persons attacked truth: http://tinyurl.com/pxbowff Also Blog at http://tinyurl.com/na3kn83

I have signed the petition to oust RS. Have you?
Just as we have felt the need to oust corrupt politicians, let us come together again to oust these kind of journalists as they can influence common man’s view by the use of technology.

This unacceptable behaviour from the Presstitude should not go unpunished…. Pl initiate the legal recourse….
