On Thursday, a Mumbai court granted bail to Fakt Marathi channel owner Shirish Pattanshetty, who was arrested in the alleged fake TRP scam.
His lawyer Aniket Nikam said, Additional sessions judge P R Sitre granted bail to Pattanshetty on a surety of Rs 50,000.
[Nikam earlier argued in the court that his client had not done any rigging of the Television Rating Points nor there was a rise in the TRP of the Fakt Marathi channel.
The revenue of the channel had also not increased during the relevant period, he said, alleging that this was a “witch-hunt”.
He further submitted that during the custodial interrogation of Pattanshetty, who was arrested earlier this month, nothing was recovered and his further detention was unwarranted.]
