A Zee Hindustan news anchor, Rohit Ranjan, was taken into custody by the police from his home near Delhi today, days after the channel ran a misleading Rahul Gandhi video for which it had apologised.

As the Chhattisgarh police landed at his home around 5.30 am, Rohit Ranjan tweeted to the Uttar Pradesh police, alleging that the local police were not informed.

The Chhattisgarh police replied that it is not required to inform anyone as long as there is a warrant.

The Ghaziabad police then took him away, preventing his arrest by the Chhattisgarh team. 

He is currently in the custody of the UP police, facing relatively lighter charges.

Cases were filed against the TV anchor in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh soon after Rohit Ranjan, on his show, played a Rahul Gandhi statement on an attack on his office in Kerala's Wayanad and allegedly ran it as a comment on the Udaipur tailor's killers.

The video was shared by BJP leaders like Rajyavardhan Rathore, who have also been charged in an FIR.
