Mumbai . Republic TV distribution head Ghanshyam Singh was arrested on Tuesday in an alleged fake TRP (television rating point) case. Mumbai Police Crime Branch official gave this information. The official said Singh is also the vice-president of Republic Media Network and was arrested from his home at around 7.40 am.
He said that with the arrest of Singh, 12 people have been arrested so far by the Crime Intelligence Cell (CIU) of the crime branch in the case. The officer said that earlier the CIU had questioned Singh for several rounds.
The TRP scam was revealed last month when the Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) filed a complaint through Hansa Research Group alleging that some channels were manipulating the TRP figures.
