The Punjab and Haryana High Court has quashed an FIR lodged against Times Now Navbharat reporter Bhawana Kishore in a rash driving and caste slur case in May last year. The court said the senior journalist had “no personal knowledge of the victim’s caste,” Livelaw reported.
Kishore, the media channel’s camera person Mritunjay Kumar and car driver Parmeshwar Singh were arrested and booked under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and for alleged rash driving in Punjab’s Ludhiana. The three were released on interim bail a day after their arrest.
