Dish TV India's shareholders have rejected the candidature of three independent directors, as per a media report.

The decision was taken in an extraordinary general meeting of the Dish TV company shareholders, in which 80% votes were against the appointments of Sunil Khanna, Bhushan Puri and Sonal Bankim Parekh as directors.

Sixteen directors have been ousted so far from the company board.

In December last year, Dish TV shareholders had rejected the candidature of four independent directors.

Dish TV was effectively left without a functional board at that point.
