In Maharashtra, Mumbai Police yesterday made 11th arrest in the Television Rating Points (TRP) manipulation scam. According to a police official, 50-year-old Ashish Abidur Choudhary, a resident of Thane, was arrested by the Crime Intelligence Unit (CIU) which is probing the scam.
Choudhary is accused of paying bribes, on behalf of some TV channels, to households where barometers recording viewership data were installed to put on those particular channels. Police said that some channels were paying bribes to boost TRP fraudulently so as to increase the advertising revenue.
