After spending over two months in jail in the alleged TRP rigging scam, ex-Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) CEO Partho Dasgupta was given bail on Tuesday by the Bombay high court which said his detention was not necessary and there was no propriety in keeping him behind bars.
The chargesheet cited Goswami's alleged acceptance of his WhatsApp chat with Dasgupta as crucial evidence to indict him in the case.
'Dasgupta misused his official position and manipulated TRP of specific news channels broadcast by ARG Outlier Media Pvt Ltd such as Republic Bharat Hindi and Republic TV English,' the police alleged in its remand note.
The material collected by the investigating officer shows that Dasgupta manipulated TRP for particular channels by using his office as the CEO of BARC, the court observed.
Former Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) CEO Partho Dasgupta is the 'mastermind' of the Television Rating Points manipulation scam and there seemed more to the case than mere rigging of TRPs, as per the sessions court that had rejected his bail plea last month.
