NBDSA Raps News 18 India, Rubika For Suggesting Arvind Kejriwal Is Guilty In Liquor 'Scam', Directs To Delete Broadcast Segment

The National Broadcasting and Digital Standards Authority (NBDSA) instructed News 18 India to remove a broadcast segment that wrongly attributed guilt to former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in a case concerning the excise policy. The broadcaster was found to have aired content that violated journalistic standards by making unverified claims about Kejriwal's involvement. The decision reflects the NBDSA’s commitment to ensuring accountability in media broadcasting, particularly when it involves sensitive political figures. The ruling emphasizes the need for responsible journalism, urging media outlets to verify information before publishing, especially in high-stakes political matters.
