TRP case: Ex-BARC CEO directly involved, rigged entire system, HC told

Former Broadcast Audience

Research Council (BARC) CEO Partho Dasgupta rigged the “entire” TRP system for news channels and also discussed issues of national security with “a certain owner cum news anchor” on Whatsapp, the Mumbai Police told the Bombay High Court on Monday.

Special public prosecutor Shishir Hiray told a single-judge bench presided over by Justice PD Naik that Dasgupta was directly involved in manipulating Television Rating Points (TRPs) with the help of other accused persons.
