'Isn't This A Sword Hanging?' :Bombay High Court Asks Mumbai Police If They Intend To Further Investigate Arnab Goswami, Republic TV In TRP Case
Live LawThe Bombay High Court on Wednesday sought to know from the Mumbai Police if they intended to further investigate ARG Outlier Media Pvt Ltd and Arnab Goswami in the TRP Scam, as, even after two charge sheets, the channel was only a suspect on police records. The questions fell from the bench after Senior Advocate Ashok Mundargi's submissions that even after two charge sheets there wasn't enough material collected against Republic TV and Arnab, and the channel was only shown as a "suspect." During the hearing, on Wednesday, Senior Advocate Mundargi said that it was only in December that the Mumbai Police officially received a copy of the forensic analysis report from BARC. Special Public Prosecutor Shishir Hirey said that the CP was not relying on the third-party forensic analysis commissioned by BARC but another report of BARC, which was an internal report, from January 2020.
