The Mumbai Crime Branch filed a supplementary charge sheet in the TRP manipulation scam on Tuesday, showing Arnab Goswami, editor-in-chief of Republic TV, as an accused. WhatsApp messages between the TV anchor and Partho Dasgupta, former head of industry body BARC, are part of the 1,912-page document. It says viewership numbers were manipulated to help Goswami’s channel gain the number one spot. 

The accused in the supplementary charge sheet are Arnab Goswami, Priya Mukherjee, Shivendu Muledhkar and Shiva Sundaram from ARG Outlier Media that owns Republic TV and Sanjay Verma and Amit Dave from Maha Movie channel. So far, 22 people have been made accused in this case.
