A Poonch court has ordered FIRs against Zee News and News18 India for defaming a deceased teacher by falsely labeling him as a terrorist during Operation Sindoor coverage. The court criticized the channels for spreading unverified information that harmed the reputation of the victim and his family, emphasizing responsible journalism.
On November 6, 2024, the NBDSA ordered News18 India to remove the “Baba Bageshwar Exclusive Interview” for promoting superstition and religious discord. The complaint, filed by Indrajeet Ghorpade, highlighted the broadcaster’s responsibility for guests’ inflammatory remarks. NBDSA emphasized adherence to ethical codes in media reporting.
