I may be wrong. However he appears to be a decent man. Don't know what started the fight. Still got to avoid such ugly incidents. Being a media man doesn't mean you are above the law.

THE TV CHANNEL SHOULD TAKE STRICT ACTION. EMPLOYEES REPRESENT THEIR COMPANIES BOTH INSIDE WORK PLACES AND OUTSIDE.
