The owners of Republic media and News Nation have been named as wanted accused in the chargesheet. The police said they were likely to charge them in a supplementary chargesheet later.

The Mumbai Police Crime Branch on Monday filed a 1,400-page chargesheet in the alleged fake Television Rating Points (TRP) case, naming six channels, including those of Republic Media Network and News Nation, as allegedly paying money to boost TRPs for around two years.

The owners of Republic media and News Nation have been named as wanted accused in the chargesheet. The police said they were likely to charge them in a supplementary chargesheet later.

The police said that all named in the chargesheet were free-to-air channels and relied solely on advertisement revenue as a means of income.

The chargesheet comes a day before the Mumbai Police is set to submit its investigation report in a sealed cover before the Bombay High Court, which is hearing a plea by Republic media seeking that the FIR against it be quashed.

While in October, police had said channels were paying money to intermediaries like employees of Hansa Research Group — which measures TRPs on behalf of Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) — to boost it, the chargesheet talks about another manner in which TRPs were boosted.
