NBSA has also warned @ABPNews @NewsNationTV @abpmajhatv for its violations of the code of ethics and broadcasting standards. News Nation had aired the picture of SSR's dead body but had sincerely apologised during the hearing at NBSA.
Today, #RheaChakraborthy also got bail.

The order notes my objection to the sensational news coverage of SSR's death in which I described it as "abhorrent, shameful, insensitive, anti-human rights, unprofessional and sensational". @SaketGokhale @MnshaP @Tweet2Rhea @rohini_sgh
Truth must win. Hate must stop.

Republic is not a part of NBSA. So no action can be taken against them.
The maximum of penalty that can be imposed is 1 Lakh. Yes, it's peanuts for these channels.
Reforms are badly required in this self-regulatory body!

Sharing some imp findings of Justice (Retd.) AK Sikri, Chairman NBSA-
"Mere discussion or even advocacy of a particular cause howsoever unpopular is at the heart of Art 19(1)(a). It is only when such discussion or advocacy reaches the level of incitement that Art 19(2) kicks in".
"Mere discussion or even advocacy of a particular cause howsoever unpopular is at the heart of Art 19(1)(a). It is only when such discussion or advocacy reaches the level of incitement that Art 19(2) kicks in".
"While it is the duty of the news channel to report news....it is equally imp to present the news in a manner which does not violate the privacy of the dead nor sensationalise a tragic incident. It is important that the dead must not be subjected to unnecessary media glare".
"A question arises as to what was the objective in flashing the Taglines “Aise kaise hit-wicket ho gaye Sushant?”, “Sushant zindagi ki pitch par hit-wicket kaise ho gaye” & ‘Sushant itne ashant kaise’, when the person is dead."
On @ZeeNews -
"the Tagline “Patna ka Sushant, Mumbai me fail kyu?”, appears to attribute failure to the person who is dead. It also tends to give the impression that committing suicide is failure and therefore the Tagline violates the privacy and dignity of the deceased."

"While the media cannot be stopped from reporting news about celebrities, however, a question arises as to what was the purpose of interviewing the aggrieved family members who were in a state of shock or showing images of grieving members."
These are exactly what I complained.
