'People Were Paid to Watch Republic TV': 3 Channels in Dock for Rigging TRP, Mumbai Cops Arrest Four

News 18  

The Mumbai Police on Thursday claimed to have busted a ‘false TRP racket’, where households were apparently asked to keep channels switched on the entire day. The Detection Crime Branch of Mumbai police, which unearthed the TRP racket, has arrested owners of two Marathi channels, for manipulating viewership ratings, an official said. Singh told reporters that a national TV news channel, facing flak over its attack on Mumbai police and Maharashtra government in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, was also involved in the TRP racket. Speaking to CNN-News18, the Mumbai police commissioner said, “TRP was being manipulated to increase revenue for one channel, while creating losses for another channels and advertisers. We got names of three channels — one is Republic TV and the other two are Marathi channels.” Elaborating on the clues that led to the racket, Singh said that a few days ago, one Hansa agency approached the police and told them about the malpractice of manipulating the ratings.
