Supreme Court Agrees To Hear Zee News Anchor Rohit Ranjan’s Plea Seeking Urgent Hearing On Rahul Gandhi Matter Tomorrow

Zee News Anchor Rohit Ranjan moves Supreme Court against the multiple FIRs registered against him over an alleged doctored video of Rahul Gandhi's speech. Senior Advocate Siddharth Luthra mentioned the matter before a vacation bench comprising Justices Indira Banerjee and JK Maheshwari for urgent listing. 

Sr. Adv. Sidharth Luthra submitted that the anchor made an error during a show and he later apologised for it.

However, multiple FIRs have been registered against him over the show. Luthra added that the Chhattisgarh police is trying to arrest him and that the Noida police had arrested him yesterday and released him on bail.

The bench agreed to list the matter tomorrow. After the bench passed the order for listing tomorrow, the Advocate on Record clarified that the petition is yet to be filed.

The issue relates to a news program done by Ranjan where a comment made by Rahul Gandhi regarding the attack of his office in Waynad was played as his response to the Udaipur murder, for which official apology was issued and aired soon after.

A team of Chhattisgarh Police had landed in Ghaziabad on Tuesday morning to arrest Ranjan from his house.

Ranjan, however, claimed that the police from the Congress-ruled Chhattisgarh were not following the due law of informing the local police first.

Chhattisgarh Police is standing outside my house to arrest me without informing the local police, is it legal, Ranjan had tweeted in Hindi on Tuesday and tagged UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath and the state's police in the post.
