Calgary radio host attacked
A man accused of assaulting radio host Rishi Nagar in Calgary in September will appear in court next week.
Nagar was accosted by two men outside an event in Calgary, who complained about “inaccuracies” in his reporting. One punched him repeatedly, causing serious eye injuries.?
After the incident, Nagar said: “The attack I endured was not simply an act of physical violence; it was a brazen attempt to intimidate, to silence and to prevent a free press from doing its job. I want to make one thing abundantly clear: I will not be silenced.”
