Ghaziabad: The Chhattisgarh Police on Tuesday arrested Zee News anchor Rohit Ranjan from his residence in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad after the channel aired allegedly misleading clips about Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
Notably, the channel had played a ‘doctored’ video clip of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in which he was heard calling the attackers of Udaipur incident as children, justifying the heinous killing of Kanhaiya Lal.
Pertinent to mention here that the original video was Rahul Gandhi’s comment on the SFI violence on his Wayanad office but it was deliberately and mischievously doctored to appear as if it was a comment on the heinous murder of Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur.
A case had been filed against Ranjan at Noida Sector-20 Police Station. The Congress had also demanded an appropriate apology from the BJP on behalf of party leaders who shared the said ‘doctored’ video.
