Republic TV And Arnab Goswami's Plea Against Mumbai Police's FIR In TRP Scam: Live Updates From Bombay High Court [Day 2]
Mundargi - All this is inadmissible material. The statement names Republic but also the other three channels, Mundargi says.
J Shinde asks SPP Hirey to take instructions on how much time is required to complete the investigation.
Mundargi now begins to point out from two accused statements, taken while they were in custody.
One of them is a distributor, Bompalli Rao Mistry. He was arrested with Ved Bhandari.
Mundargi was referring to Tejal Solanki's statement from the charge sheet which names another channel
Mundargi - Evidence has to be qualitative, not quantitative.
J Pitale - So they are not going after the channels who are named?
Mundargi- In fact, today they are saying there is nothing against the other channel.
The statement speaks about how they spotted discrepancies and began their investigation.
Mundargi refers to the statement of the Assistant Vice President of BARC from the charge sheet
Mundargi continues his submission. Asserts that the Mumbai Police got the analytical report first in December and not before that.
SPP - BARC itself said that their industry is worth 31,000 crores. They have now started quantifying their losses
SPP - We were not investigating the news channel, we were investigating the entire scam.
But wasn't there quantifying of the scam?
