The journalist was assaulted by unidentified men in Islamabad on Friday when his car was stopped by three men travelling on a motorcycle near Zero Point, and it is being said that three more men joined the attackers and started hitting Noorani with iron rods and thrashing him after taking out the car keys from the ignition system.
His condition is said to be improving steadily.
