Nine News crew rattled in Indian report

Nine News reporter Jacqueline Freegard and her cameraman were shaken but unhurt after being surrounded by locals in India while trying to film a story on Puneet Puneet, a student who skipped bail and fled Melbourne.

Puneet has pleaded guilty to driving a car last October that hit and killed 19 year old Dean Hofstee, and seriously injured Clancy Coker, 20, students from the Gold Coast. Puneet borrowed a friend’s passport to flee to India.

While trying to film a former home of Puneet Puneet, cameraman Stephen Greaves was pushed and shoved and his equipment damaged.

”There were probably 100 people there shouting at us,” Freegard told the Sydney Morning Herald. ”We were quite terrified.”

Neighbours told the newspaper they believed those living in the house were related to Puneet.
