TRP manipulation scam,
Umesh Mishra, has approached the Bombay HC, saying ED forced him to change his original statement to the
Mumbai police as an approver. The scam is being probed by the city police, while ED has registered a separate money laundering case in the matter.
Mishra has filed an intervention application in the petition filed by
Republic TV’s
Arnab Goswami seeking quashing of the police FIR. Mishra said he should be heard before any order is passed in the plea.
A former employee of Hansa Research, an agency that was monitoring TRPs, Mishra was arrested from Virar in October for allegedly being involved in making payments to households to keep certain TV channels on and thus inflate viewership numbers.
