Hyderabad: The LB Nagar police on Saturday arrested Ravi Prakash, the CEO of TV 9 news channel, in connection with a case of making derogatory statements about Telangana MLAs in a TV programme. He was released on bail on the same day on personal bound and two sureties.
Mr Ravi Prakash surrendered at the police station at around 4.30 pm, said LB Nagar police inspector E. Srinivas Reddy. “He has surrendered his passport and has furnished a personal bond and two sureties. He was then released on bail,” said the inspector. Mr Prakash will have to appear before police every Sunday till the chargesheet is filed.
In June this year, the LB Nagar police had registered a case against the CEO and six other employees of TV9, following a magistrate's order. An advocate named Janardhan Goud had approached the Metropo-litan Magistrate’s Court of Cyberabad, alleging that the channel’s Bullet News programme of June 12 had made derogatory statements about the MLAs.
