The Asianet journalist booked in a case filed by a Students’ Federation of India leader in Kerala has insisted she “adhered to the standard reporting practices for such incidents”.
Akhila Nandakumar is a chief reporter with Asianet News in Ernakulam. Last week, the Kerala police booked her and four others in a complaint filed by SFI state secretary PM Arsho. This was after Akhila reported for Asianet that Arsho, a master’s student at Maharaja’s College, had purportedly passed his third-semester exams without appearing for them.
