The Supreme Court on July 8 directed that no coercive action should be taken by police against TV anchor Rohit Ranjan in connection with multiple FIRs registered against him for the alleged telecast of a misleading content on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
"There will be an interim order restraining the respondent-authorities from taking coercive steps against the petitioner to take him into custody in connection with the anchoring/telecast of DNA (his TV show) on July 1, 2022," the court order said.
The court also issued notice to the Union of India.
