Mumbai Police has filed a second supplementary charge sheet, naming Arnab Goswami and 6 others, in the case relating to some TV channels allegedly manipulating TRPs to boost viewership.
The alleged fake TRP scam came to light in October 2020 when the rating agency BARC filed a complaint alleging that certain television channels were rigging TRP numbers.
The court also accepted the Maharashtra government's statement that the probe against Republic TV and other employees of ARG Outlier Media will be completed within 12 weeks.
Goswami's counsel was responding to the court's query on what was the most clinching evidence cited by the Mumbai police's crime branch in the chargesheet in the TRP scam.
The Bombay High Court directed Special Public Prosecutor Shishir Hiray to inform the court by Thursday whether the police plan to proceed against Arnab Goswami and Republic TV.
The bench was responding to arguments made by ARG Outlier Media, who told the court that the police had malafide intentions behind holding the press conference.
BARC's former CEO had also been arrested in the alleged fake Television Ratings Point case. He has now been admitted in the ICU of JJ hospital in central Mumbai.
