NEW DELHI: Bombay high court on Tuesday granted bail to Partho Dasgupta, former Chief Executive Officer of Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) in the alleged television ratings point (TRP) manipulation scam. Special public prosecutor Shishir Hirey had objected to the bail saying Dasgupta was the “mastermind’’ in the crime.
Justice PD Naik while granting bail observed that 15 accused were arrested and 14 have been granted bail including Romil Ramgadia Chief Operating officer of BARC, who the prosecution alleged had played a “vital role in manipulation of TRP”.
Dasgupta “cannot be incarcerated in custody till the arrest of another accused,’’ said Justice Naik.
