R.K. Anand serves legal notice on NDTV

Seeks an unconditional apology from the channel

New Delhi: R.K. Anand, a criminal lawyer who figured in a recent sting operation by NDTV, has served a legal notice on the channel asking it to immediately stop telecasting any news story relating to him, failing which he would sue them for Rs. 50-crore damages.

Mr. Anand, defending former Navy chief S.M. Nanda's grandson Sanjeev in the BMW case, was shown talking to court witness Sunil Kulkarni in the sting. The channel alleged that Mr. Anand and the Public Prosecutor were colluding to save Sanjeev, facing trial for mowing down six persons in south Delhi in his BMW car in 1999.

Mr. Anand claimed that the footage shown was "motivated, fabricated and doctored" and was done in an "utmost irresponsible" manner to tarnish his professional, social and political image for "ulterior reasons." He denied each and every act that "imputed on him" in the news items shown by the channel and alleged that Kulkarni was a man of "dubious antecedents." The notice asked the channel to stop the telecast, publication and release of news item relating to Mr. Anand on its TV network and sought an unconditional apology from NDTV. - PTI
