Two years after Republic Bharat called British-Pakistani businessman Aneel Mussarat an ISI "stooge" during a broadcast, Mussarat won a defamation case against the channel at the London High Court.
According to Geo TV, Mussarat had filed a defamation case against Republic's UK broadcaster, Worldview Media Network. Republic allegedly did not participate in the proceedings. The judge noted the programme had "no evidence whatsoever to support its assertions that Aneel Mussarat was engaged in anti-India activities including assisting in terrorism against India", the report said.
