The senior Zee Group editors arrested in the alleged extortion case filed by Jindal Group have been sent to a two-day police custody by a Delhi court.
Zee News has demanded the immediate release of its two senior journalists -- Sudhir Chaudhury and Sameer Ahluwalia -- arrested in an extortion case filed by Congress MP Naveen Jindal, alleging that the police action was "illegal" and "designed for something else".

Denying allegations of attempt to extort Rs 100 crore from Jindal Power and Steel Ltd for not airing news reports linking the company to the coal block allocation scam, Zee News CEO Alok Agrawal accused the UPA-II of "intimidating" the media because of its "mistakes".
