BREAKING| Supreme Court Protects Zee News Anchor Rohit Ranjan From Coercive Action In Multiple FIRs Over Rahul Gandhi's Doctored Video

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Friday granted interim protection to Zee News anchor Rohit Ranjan against the multiple FIRs registered against him over an alleged doctored video of Rahul Gandhi's speech. The bench was considering writ preferred by Ranjan, stating that the alleged video was received from a third party agency namely ANI and upon realizing that the contents of the show contained certain factual inaccuracies and unintentional error, Zee News immediately retracted the news segment, apologized on air and deleted all social media posts qua the said news segment. Senior Advocate Siddharth Luthra appearing for Ranjan submitted that since multiple FIRs for the same offence have been registered, the TT Antony case will apply which held that there can be no second FIR and consequently there can be no fresh investigation on receipt of every subsequent information in respect of the same cognizable offence or the same occurrence or incident giving rise to one or more cognizable offences. Zee News Anchor in the petition had further contended that he apologised for the errors in the said show and expressed utmost regret on his prime time show, DNA as well on his Twitter Handle, but subsequently multiple FIRs/ Complaints were filed against the him under various provisions of law for the same incident, even though the error was unintentional.
