New Delhi, Apr 24: The AAP government on Saturday filed a criminal complaint at the Patiala House District Courts here seeking registration of a criminal case against three television news channels for allegedly airing doctored videos of the February 9 protests on the JNU campus.

kejriAccording to a source, the airing of the videos could have been detrimental to law and order and could have triggered a riot on communal lines – an argument which forms the core of the 226-page complaint filed by the legal team of the Delhi government.

The government had recently decided to initiate proceedings through the court against the news channels on the basis of the findings of a magisterial probe, which had concluded that they had aired allegedly doctored videos of a controversial event.

The complaint was filed under Section 200 of Criminal Procedure Code, seeking cognisance of the offences such as misrepresentation, concealing facts and criminal conspiracy under the IPC and Information Technology Act.

The matter has been listed for hearing by a Metropolitan Magistrate in Patiala House Courts on Monday.

The probe, conducted by New Delhi District Magistrate Sanjay Kumar, did not find any evidence of JNU Students' Union president Kanhaiya Kumar raising anti-India slogans during the February 9 event, the allegation based on which he was slapped with sedition charges.
