News watchdog slams ‘media trial’ of Umar Khalid, orders Zee, India TV, Aaj Tak to remove videos -Anupriya Chatterjee

Zee News, Zee Hindustan, India TV & Aaj Tak ‘violated principles of impartiality, objectivity’ in five 2020 telecasts, News Broadcasting and Digital Standards Authority has said

New Delhi: Criticising the “media trial” of Delhi riots-accused Umar Khalid and noting its “serious objection to sensationalist taglines and tickers”, the News Broadcasting and Digital Standards Authority (NBDSA) has ordered news channels Zee News, Zee Hindustan, India TV, and Aaj Tak to remove all videos and links to five broadcasts dating back to 2020.

In its 13 June order, the NBDSA, an independent body that reviews and adjudicates complaints about private broadcasters and is headed by Justice A.K. Sikri (Retd), was responding to a complaint filed in November 2020 against these channels for allegedly violating the NBDSA’s code of ethics.

The complaint, filed by activist Indrajeet Ghorpade, pertained to how some news programmes portrayed “allegations as facts” about Khalid as well as Sharjeel Imam, another accused in the February 2020 Delhi riots, which broke out in the wake of protests over the Citizenship Amendment Act.
