Rajat Sharma's India TV made a fool of itself once again on Wednesday night when the two murder accused in Meerut were brought to the studio of channel in Nodia even as police waited outside for the media to 'release' the duo so that they could arrest them.
The anchors kept asking the SSP Noida and their correspondent unwarranted questions just to prolong their programme. The accused questioned the police officer and the latter was asked if he had any query from them.
It was not even a drama, pure nonsense and height of media intervention. The manner in which the channel acted was highly irresponsible and depicted misuse of the power of media. Rajat Sharma appeared elated that before police his team tracked the duo. Taking a cue from Sahil Zaru (Rahul Mahajan case) who had gone to the Ajtak studio, this might become a norm in high-profile cases.
