NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Amit Bansal yesterday refused to take cognizance of the charge sheet filed by Delhi Police against Zee News Officials relating to the case against the officials of Zee News by Jindal Steel’s Navin Jindal, MP.

The CMM returned the chargesheet and ordered the Delhi Police to investigate the matter once again.  He also ordered that the investigation this time should be carried out by an officer of the Delhi Police no less than the rank of Asst Commissioner of Police.

This followed serious objections and pleas on facts raised by Zee News Counsel Vijay Aggrawal, who decribed the case as false and concocted.

Aggrawal said, “We have no doubt that if the matter is investigated fairly, it is the complainants who will be prosecuted.”
The CMM has ordered Delhi Police to report back on 2 December, 2013.
