kingmakers Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 The A.P state government has slapped a case under section 155 on Sakshi TV. This is in continuation with the cases filed by the A.P Government on Friday against TV5. The channel, TV5, alleged in a report that the Reliance group had a hand in the helicopter crash that killed former chief minister Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy. The report was based on a story on a Russian website, exiledonline.com, in September. TV5 is owned by B. Rajagopal Naidu, a former BHEL employee known to be close to both Telugu Desam Party chief and opposition leader N. Chandrababu Naidu and YSR. The report led to violence and attack on both Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Industries and Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group establishments across the state. State police chief R.R. Girish Kumar said nine properties were attacked in Hyderabad alone. The largest number of attacks took place in YSR’s native Kadapa district. Reliance Industries Ltd issued a denial on Friday, saying, “We condemn, rebut and reject the allegation with the contempt it deserves.”
