NDTV Plea: HC seeks CBI response
New Delhi, July 6 (IANS) : The Delhi High Court on Thursday sought a response from the CBI about a plea filed by NDTV seeking the quashing of a FIR registered against the channel and its founder over allegations of defrauding a bank.
Justice Vinod Goel asked the Central Bureau of Investigation to file its response by 21 September 2017.
The agency named NDTV founder Prannoy Roy, his wife Radhika and a private company linked to NDTV among others in a criminal case on charges of causing losses to the ICICI Bank.
The CBI searched the offices and houses of Roy over the allegations, a move the broadcaster denounced as a "witch-hunt" to muzzle free speech.
