TV journalists accused of ‘blackmailing’ a Delhi businessman
New Delhi: Two television journalists- Bhumika Sharma of India TV and Pradeep Srivastava have been suspended after an owner of a garage in south Delhi has accused them and the head of an NGO of trying to extort Rs 20 lakh by blackmailing him of telecasting his video. The garage-owner said that the accused had secretly filmed him with different women.
A statement issued by Delhi Police named the complainant as Vijay Kumar, a 53-year-old “car mechanic who runs a shop in the name of Motor craft in Vasant Vihar”. Kumar, the statement said, had complained that “one Manu Sharma… who runs an NGO in the name of People’s Foundation, has provided girls for sexual intercourse at his address at Satya Niketan and prepared video clips.”
“They are threatening to extort Rs 20 lakh by putting him in fear of implicating him in a false case of rape. One Ms Bhumika, an employee of India TV and Mr Pardeep working with ABP News also threatened the complainant to… settle the matter otherwise they said they would telecast the recording on TV,” the statement said.
Police said Kumar had recorded his phone conversation with the accused, in the course of which they had allegedly tried to blackmail him. The CD containing the purported conversation would be sent for forensic examination. The possible involvement of a third journalist is also being investigated.
Just last month, the Broadcast Editors’ Association (BEA) had removed Zee News editor and business head Sudhir Chaudhary from the post of treasurer and primary membership of the body on charges of extortion. (डेली भास्कर)
