'Who on earth are you all? You too are citizens,' says Union Minister Suresh Gopi, rejects media immunity in SIT search

Union Minister Suresh Gopi defends police searches at a Kochi news channel office, stating media has no special privileges. He questions why journalists demand leniency when lawful probes target all citizens equally.

Reacting to a section of media's pushback regarding the scope of the search and the seizure of personal devices, Suresh Gopi rejected the assertion that investigative agencies must adhere to territorial boundaries or show leniency when inspecting media premises.
