Mumbai: An American talk-show host Oprah Winfrey’s India visit turned into a controversy when her bodyguards beat video journalists who were trying to cover her visit in Mathura on Thursday.

Press Trust of India said police detained three of her Indian after local journalists said their video equipment had been damaged in a brawl. No one was reported hurt, and there was no indication that the American bodyguards were involved.

The three guards were released after apologizing in a letter to the journalists, PTI said.

It is Winfrey’s first trip to India, where she has been filming her new show “Oprah’s Next Chapter.”

She also visited the Taj Mahal on Thursday, and she is due to attend the Jaipur Literature Festival that begins Friday.
