  • apologise live on October 27 for spreading fake news on Sushant Singh Rajput case

    The News Broadcasting Standard Authority (NBSA) has ordered AajTak, the Hindi-language news channel of the India Today group, to air an apology on live on October 27 at 8 PM for telecasting fake tweets relating to actor late Sushant Singh Rajput, reports Live Law.

    The NBSA had earlier asked AajTak to pay a fine of Rs 1 lakh and had asked the broadcaster to air an apology admitting on national television that it did not conduct the due diligence required prior to telecasting the tweets. The media network had telecast fake tweets attributing to late actor Sushant Singh Rajput and had passed off them as his last tweets. In the earlier order, the NBSA after finding AajTak guilty of violating guidelines, had ordered AajTak to submit the proof of compliance of the telecast of the apology to the association within 7 days of telecast. However, the time and date for airing an apology was not notified by the NBSA then.

  • Hearing in the Supreme Court today on the plea for a CBI inquiry

    A Public Interest Litigation has been filed in the Supreme Court on the plea for a CBI inquiry into the death of Disha Salian, manager of Sushant Singh Rajput. It is to be heard today. The petition described the death of Sushant and Disha as interlinked. The PIL is listed for hearing in a bench headed by Chief Justice SA Bobde. On a petition filed by Puneet Kaur Dhanda through advocate Vineet Dhanda, the Mumbai Police has been sought to direct the police to file a detailed investigation report in the case, as it is reported that their case file is missing or deleted. Dhanda appealed to the court that if the court found it unsatisfactory, the case could be referred to the CBI for further investigation. Salian was killed on June 8 after falling from the 14th floor of a building (Regent Galaxy) in Mumbai’s Malad West after the lockdown ended . A week later, on the morning of 14 June, Sushant Singh Rajput allegedly committed suicide, which aroused suspicion, the petition said. The petition has argued that Salian was in a relationship with actor Rohan Rai. The two were about to get married after the lockdown.
