Three television news channels that allegedly aired doctored footage of the 9 February protests at JNU have been dragged to the court.
The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP government has moved the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM), Patiala House Courts, seeking action against Zee News, News X and India News.
The Delhi government has sought examination of its complaint under Section 200 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, The Indian Express has reported.
Citing news reports, forensic reports and the fact-finding report submitted by the New Delhi district magistrate that stated that three of the seven video clips were found to be doctored, the Delhi government has urged the court to take cognisance of the offences and ‘summon, try and punish’ the accused.
“The respondents named in the complaint include M/s Zee News, M/s Zee News Media Corporation Limited, M/s News X, M/s Information TV Private Limited, M/s India News and ‘other unnamed individuals’.
The 12 respondents include editors-in-chief, managing directors and directors of the organisations named in the complaint,” IE reported. Times Now has not been named as an accused in the complaint.
But the AAP government has stated that the allegedly doctored video was shown on the channel on an electronic device held by BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra, who was a guest on a show on the channel on 17 February, IE reported.
