<p>WION correspondent Nischita Verrendra was manhandled Wednesday by Times Now journalist Srinjoy Chowdhury at the Aero India show in Bengaluru.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Nischita had been interviewing the French Ambassador to India Alexandre Ziegler.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Nischita had asked two questions when suddenly, Chowdhury butted in saying "You're done, you're done?"&nbsp;</p>

<p>Chowdhury then pushed Nischita out of the way.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Nischita stood her ground and pushed back.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When WION spoke to Nischita, she said: "I think he got angry that I pushed back."&nbsp;</p>

<p>And then, shockingly (see video below) Choudhary actually shoved Nischita out of the way.&nbsp;</p>

It's hard to believe this apology since you told me and I quote 'Yes, I don't have decency on field' and 'you are not worth being manhandled'. So let's just accept that we have an indecent reporter amidst us.</p>
