A woman journalist and her colleague were roughed up in a road rage incident here on Wednesday, police said.

The incident took place around 6.30 a.m. near Delhi-Noida border in east Delhi's Mayur Vihar area when Chanchal Saini was on her way back home along with her colleague Dilip Pandey.

Saini works as a video editor at a private news channel and Pandey is a producer in the same organisation.
