Television anchor Rohit Ranjan on Wednesday made an urgent mentioning in the Supreme Court seeking protection in connection with multiple First Information Reports (FIRs) lodged against him.
Mr. Ranjan has been facing fire for the telecast of an allegedly doctored video of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
"This is the case of a TV anchor. He made an error in one of his shows. He has apologised unconditionally... Issued a public apology, but is facing multiple FIRs. The Noida Police has questioned him and released him on bail. The Chhattisgarh Police is seeking to arrest him... We seek an urgent listing," senior advocate Siddharth Luthra submitted before a Vacation Bench of Justices Indira Banerjee and J.K. Maheshwari during an oral mentioning.
