The Bombay High Court, on Monday, January 18, said that a #MediaTrial during an ongoing investigation violates program code under the Cable TV Network Regulation Act and would impact the probe.
The bench passed the order while hearing a petition filed by former police officers from Maharashtra, activists, lawyers and NGOs in November, seeking a directive restraining the “media trial” in the Sushant Rajput death case.
The court held that the trial by media could interfere with the administration of criminal justice.

1/5. Shocked by Sushant Singh Rajput suicide coverage – compared with that of 330,000 farmer suicides since 1995? It’s about the money. Talk TV is a lucrative revenue model. Yak and gab costs a lot less than good journalism

2/5. Farm crisis coverage needs field investigation, travel, interviews; studying credit systems, input costs, eco-ruin, state policies. Takes money.
Talk TV needs low-cost, high decibel, lame-brained cacophony. Makes money.

3/5. The SSR suicide-Rhea arrest coverage is repulsive but it’s neither an aberration nor happening for the first time. Huge crises affecting ordinary people were also ignored during the Sheena Bora case, and earlier too
