Court closes TRP manipulation case

Hindustan Times  

MUMBAI: The Esplanade metropolitan magistrate court on Wednesday allowed the state government’s plea to drop prosecution of all the accused, including Republic TV editor Arnab Goswami, in the Television Rating Point manipulation case. When the court asked the prosecution if they had applied their mind to the withdrawal, he said, “We have applied our mind and felt that the case would not lead to conviction and would only waste the judiciary’s time and government’s efforts.” On November 28, 2023, the state government had filed an application before the court for withdrawal of prosecution in the case, which had named Republic TV and R Bharat channels headed by Arnab Goswami. In October 2020, the Kandivli police had registered the case after ratings agency Broadcast Audience Research Council filed a complaint through Hansa Research Group, alleging that certain television channels were rigging TRP numbers. Based on the police case, the ED undertook a money laundering probe and in September 2022 cleared names of Republic TV and R Bharat news channels from the allegation of manipulating television rating points.
