Q Group Media, which runs Q News, shared a video of the incident on their Facebook page. In the video, masked miscreants could be seen breaking the glasses of the Q Media House’s office located in Hyderabad. Teenmar Mallanna owns the channel. As per reports, around 25 unidentified people came in three cars, without number plates, at around 1 PM. They attacked the office and damaged the furniture.
A complaint has been filed at Medipalli Police Station. The investigation into the matter is underway. Mallanna’s team alleged that supporters of Ministers Mallareddy, KTR, and Kavitha attacked them.
