Mumbai: Two more channels under scanner for TRP ‘manipulation’

THE MUMBAI Police crime branch on Wednesday said two more television channels had come under the scanner for alleged manipulation of television rating points (TRP) after two persons arrested in connection with an ongoing probe in the matter claimed to have been paid by them. Of the two channels, police said, one is a Hindi news channel and the other a Marathi entertainment channel.

Two former employees of Hansa Research Group, Ramji Verma and Dinesh Vishwakarma, were arrested in connection with the ‘TRP scam’ on Tuesday. The two men, along with Umesh Mishra (32), arrested earlier, have been remanded in police custody for three days.
