Chandra in Hissar

BY sn5| IN Media Watch Briefs | 16/10/2014
Late night on  15 October, the polling day in Haryana, Focus News Haryana was consumed by  a single news event which it looped again and again. That was footage of Zee Media chairman Subhash Chandra in a polling booth in Hissar, demanding to see the id cards of polling agents and allegedly creating a rumpus, accompanied by other men. Focus News Haryana described it as goondagiri and kept asking poll officials leading questions about what action would be taken. Who owns Focus News Haryana? That is the million rupee question.
