Rahul Gandhi doctored video case: TV news anchor ‘absconding’ after getting out on bail

Rohit Ranjan, Zee News anchor, went “absconding” after being released on bail by the Noida police, which arrested him on Tuesday in connection with the airing of a video twisting Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s remarks. Ranjan is wanted by the Chhattisgarh police for a case registered against him in Raipur for the same reason.

According to sources in the police department here, a team of cops from Raipur went Ranjan’s home in Ghaziabad on Wednesday morning to arrest him, but it was locked from the outside. A senior police official in Noida said Ranjan was brought in for questioning on Tuesday but was released on bail later in the night because the sections under which he was charged were bailable.
