let them say whatever they want........ I will tell you the details stuff......
BARC and Hansa Corporation filed an FIR against one of the Hansa corporation employee, stating that he is giving money to few houses in mumbai to watch India Today and two small marathi channels..... PBS was looking for an opportunity to stop Republic from covering Sushant's case.........so he took a press conference and straight away named republic as the accused........ what he didnt know that republic ke haath kitne lambe......... the same evening republic got the FIR which had actually named india Today......Arnab revealed it the same day and everyone in his debate were laughing.....
I think by late night mum police accepted that the investigation is in initial stage......
later Arnab got the Hansa report..........that also named India Today......... later he requested Hansa and BARC to let him know if his name is there in the report.........so BARC sent him an email, stating that if they had found anything wrong with republic they would've asked for explanation and also asked for documents.....as republic was not involved in any of the trp scam tactics, they didnt ask republic for any explanation..........they didnt want Arnab to share this email with public........but obviously this FIR was questioning Arnab and republic's integrity so he made the email public.......
in-between mum police has been summoning republic reporters, editors, CEO, CFO.......asking them for their sources......asking them for the channel;s valuations......... all these without any FIR or anything discriminatory against republic..... the other day they summoned Pradeep Bhandari........ when he came to mumbai, they took him as if in custody, though he has a anticipatory bail two days before (this is actually contempt of court), confiscated all of his 3 phones, though its illegal to do so with just a summons.......
PBS actually called republic's income as proceeds of crime......though there is nothing discriminatory against republic........
now he has reached a stage, where he wants any fake case against republic....... they are just targeting Arnab mentally, legally and economically as mentioned by that IB officer to Savio Rodrigues......
edited to add :
by the way, forgot to add earlier that Kapil Sibal appearing on behalf of Maha Govt and PBs in high court accepted that Republic is not named in the FIR and the report and that the investigation is in initial stages....... which obviously Rhea fans will not share with the main forum.......
