The CBI has charged former BARC CEO Sunil Lulla of manipulating the TRP ratings of a TV channel, according to media reports.
The investigating agency has alleged that Lulla provided early data regarding IPL matches to another channel on gratis basis between September and October 2020, causing losses to BARC.
The charges are related to fraud, cheating and forgery.
A fortnight ago, Lulla's lawyer told e4m that: “Mr. Sunil Lulla has been a high integrity professional in his entire career and has an unblemished track record. His conduct has been as per BARC policies & procedures and all the allegations made against him are totally false. We have complete faith in the rule of law and the Hon'ble courts.”
