Censoring Sun
TV
Last year the DMK-family owned Sun TV’s news footage of former chief minister Karunanidhi’s being arrested caused a national furore. So now the Tamilnadu police are watchful. Recently, a Sun TV crew filmed a police lathi-charge on a protest by a group of DMK cadres. The police promptly confiscated the cassette and returned it only after recording over the lathi charge footage with very innocent looking traffic visuals.
