Mumbai Police chargesheet in TRP case intended to target Arnab Goswami, HC told

The Republic TV Editor-In-Chief Arnab Goswami’s counsel on Tuesday submitted before the Bombay High Court that the FIR and Chargesheet filed by Mumbai police in Television Rating Points (TRP) manipulation case was solely intended to target his client for his earlier reportage against state government.

The counsel, also alleged that Mumbai Police including suspended API Sachin Waze, who was in charge of the probe, had got information pertaining to TRP manipulation in June 2020. However, Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh revealed details of the alleged fraud naming Republic TV channel as suspect in October, 2020, almost four months later.
