Will file defamation case: Republic TV to Mumbai Police over TRP scam

October 08, 2020 18:36

Republic TV issued a statement on Thursday in response to a press conference held by Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh. In the press conference, the commissioner identified Republic TV along with Fakt Marathi and Box Cinema for manipulating TRPs (television rating points).

Responding to the claims, Republic TV has now issued a statement claiming the Mumbai Police Commissioner is making false allegations because the network questioned him in the Sushant Singh Rajput case. Going further, Republic TV stated that it will file a criminal defamation case against the Mumbai Police Commissioner.

"There is not a single BARC report that mentions Republic TV," the network went on to claim. Going further, the network added," Param Bir Singh's investigation in the Sushant Singh Rajput case is under a cloud and this is a desperate measure because of Republic TV's reportage on Palghar, the Sushant Singh Rajput case or any other case."

The network has demanded an apology from Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh.
