FIR against Public TV Ranganath, 7 others
Ballary: An FIR has been registered against seven persons, including Public TV MD HR Ranganath in connection with an assault case, at Cowl Bazar police station.
The police booked a case against HR Ranganath, reporter Veeresh Dani, social worker Rajashekhar Mulali, VIMS hospital doctors Ravi Bheemappa, Shadrak, Hanumantaraya and Usha of nursing section in related to an assault on hospital lab technician VK Yadavada.
Speaking to reporters, Yadavada said that Usha had come to the lab on the night of June 12 and asked to get her blood tested as she was reportedly suffering from chest pain. "After collecting her blood sample, she abused me with foul language and five others who accompanied her attacked me and snatched cash, gold and my mobile phone and fled the scene," he alleged.
In 2016, I had filed a defamation case against four persons over a report telecast in Public TV in 2015. Subsequently, the Dharwad Bench of Karnataka High Court had dismissed their appeal filed seeking quashing of defamation case against them. Later, a city court had issued a non-bailable warrant against them seeking clarification. Keeping this in mind, they had assaulted me, he alleged.
