CBI booked RRPR Holdings, the Roys, NDTV, ICICI Bank officials for allegedly causing bank loss of Rs 48 crore in 2017. Closure report comes after a 7-year-long investigation.
Prannoy Roy was on NDTV 24X7 making predictions for 2023. Gautam Adani twice appeared on TV news since his NDTV takeover. And Prince Harry was incisive with his takedown of the British royal family.
As the Roys have shown, dignity and respect for facts are the best equity in today's news bazaar. It's with this satisfaction that they must walk away, leaving NDTV in new hands.
ThePrint's Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta recounts his experiences with TV & anchoring an iconic programme in introduction to his 2017 book, 'Walk the Talk: Decoding Politicians'.
In all these years of covering elections on NDTV, I do not recall a single occasion when I was asked or even hinted to say or not say something. I disagreed with Prannoy Roy off-screen and on-screen and that was never a problem.
The bench was informed by SG Tushar Mehta that the deposit of money is a condition precedent for grant of stay on the direction of the Securities and Exchange Board of India.
The Securities Appellate Tribunal had directed NDTV promoters to deposit 50% of the disgorged amount before SEBI which had imposed a penalty on them for alleged violation of norms.
Despite growing passenger volume, 11 out of 14 carriers reported losses in 2023-24. IndiGo recorded profit of Rs 8,167 crore, which reduced to Rs 7.253 crore in 2024-25.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
None of Pakistan’s PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan’s is most creative.
The same CBI which is getting the flak ” caged parrot” of BJP Govt has given clean chit- so hereafter will Dot Alliance stop calling CBI ” caged parrot” .As far as allegations r concerned when Banks were saddled with NPAs and RBI was scrutinizing all NPA accounts, naturally some suspicion arose wrt benefit of Rs48 cr given to Roys by ICiCI bank.So CBI had to investigate.
It’s simple and plain abuse of power by the Union govt. The Roys can be many things but they most certainly are not corrupt. Just because they are on the opposite side of the ideological divide, the govt agencies went after them.
The process is the punishment. And they have succeeded as the Roys have been forced to sell NDTV to Adani.
