Mumbai police on Thursday arrested former BARC COO Romil Ramgarhia in the TRP scam, reported news agency PTI. Romil Ramgarhia is the first person associated with BARC to be held in the case.
“During the probe, Ramgarhia’s alleged involvement in the case came to light, following which he was placed under arrest today,” a police official told the news agency. He added that the former chief operating officer will be produced before a local court in Mumbai for remand.
As per reports, Romil left his job from BARC in July this year and is the 14 person who has been arrested in this case.
His arrest came a day after Republic TV Chief Executive Officer Vikas Khanchandani was given bail. On Monday, a sessions court in Mumbai took exception to the hasty manner in which the city police had arrested Khanchandani. Additional Sessions Judge DE Kothalikar said that the court was disappointed that the police chose to arrest the Republic TV executive on December 13, a day before his plea for anticipatory bail was scheduled for hearing.
