A Gurugram court last week imposed a penalty of Rs 10,000 on Republic Bharat anchor Syed Suhail for delaying its proceedings in a 2013 case registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act. Eight journalists – including Deepak Chaurasia, Ajit Anjum, Chitra Tripathi and Suhail – are accused in the case.
The journalists are accused of airing “edited”, “obscene” videos of a 10-year-old child and her family in 2013, and linking the video to the sexual assault case against self-styled godman Asaram Bapu. Read about the case here.
