Mumbai: Despite summons, Republic TV's Chief Financial Officer (CFO) did not appear before the Mumbai police on Saturday to record his statement in connection with the TRP manipulation racket, saying the channel has approached the Supreme Court in the case, a senior official said.

 

The Crime Intelligence Unit (CIU) of the Mumbai crime branch had issued summons against Sundaram and he had been asked to join the investigation at 11 am on Saturday.

'However, he did not appear before the probe team. He informed the police that the channel has approached the Supreme Court and that there will be hearing on the matter within a week. Citing this, he requested the police not to record his statement,' the official said.

The CIU of the crime branch is investigating the fake Television Rating Points (TRP) racket case.
