Inaccurate and biased reporting
Media coverage of the Gujarat police charge of embezzlement against social activists Teesta Setalvad and Javed Anand and three survivors of the Gulberg Society carnage -- Firoz Pathan, Salim Sadhi and Tanveer Jafri -- was not just inaccurate but biased, alleges a press release from the Citizens for Justice and Peace. Television channels India TV and IBN7 and daily newspaper Pioneer indulged in a "witch hunt" and wrongly reported that the five were "charged" with financial misconduct. But no chargesheet has been filed, only an FIR lodged and anticipatory bail granted to them.
