TRP scam case: If there is evidence, why Republic TV, Arnab not named as accused? asks Bombay HC

MUMBAI: The Bombay High Court asked the Mumbai police on Wednesday that since the latter claimed to have adequate evidence against Republic TV and its Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami in the alleged TRP scam, why had they not named them as accused in the case.

A bench of Justices S S Shinde and Manish Pitale directed Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) Shishir Hiray to inform the court by Thursday whether the police plan to proceed against Goswami and Republic TV.

It also asked Hiray to tell the court how much time were the police likely to take to complete the investigation into the case.
