Cops file case against TV channel spreading canards

Hyderabad, Jan 8:  Alleging that a Tv Channel has thrown all journalistic norms to the winds over a report to malign the  reputation of  an organisaton, the Andhra Pradesh police have filed a case against a Telugu news channel on Friday.The police have already begun a probe and are collecting evidence, including video footage of the news beamed by a Telugu Tv Channel, which alleged that the Ambani brothers were behind the copter crash that claimed the life of former chief minister Rajasekhara Reddy on Sept 2, last year.

The Thursday night's speculative report triggered attacks by YSR's  followers  on business outlets of Reliance companies. Mukesh-led Reliance Industries on Friday denied the allegations and called the reports “malicious” and “motivated” and said it was the “dirty handiwork of our business rivals.”According to Anil Ambani-led Reliance group:

“A malicious and criminal disinformation campaign has been engaged into by our corporate rivals leading to substantial loss and damage to several offices and businesses of Reliance ADA Group in Andhra Pradesh yesterday evening.''``Stooping down to such levels is a matter of shame. The charges levelled  against Reliance are baseless,’’the source reported.A senior police official said, a case has been registered suo-moto against the Telugu news channel.
