#Delhi High Court is hearing a petition by actor #RakulPreetSingh against tirade of charges against & 'fake news' against her.
Her lawyer submits she was called as a witness by #NCB & didn't implicate anyone.
"I am a non-smoker, a teetotaller, never did drugs. I have been replaced in a short film because of all this. My reputation is in tatters. All news channels are airing unsubstantiated charges": #RakulPreetSingh to High Court.
ASG Chetan Sharma, for Govt, says she is not an accused as on date & he sympathises with her. "But any observations by this court at this juncture may have a ripple effect. This is a sensitive case."
But HC tells him there has to be some balance, I&B should question channels.
HC to Govt: "You can't simply say this is a sensitive matter so we won't do anything. Go on with your investigation but ask channels too. I can see 3 reports on record which are completely derogatory. You must do something."
HC issues formal notices to I&B Min, News Broadcasters'Assocn, etc, & asks for action taken reports.
