Setting the record straight

IN Media Watch Briefs | 01/05/2013

Loksatta, an Express Group Marathi daily on Sunday (May 1, 2013) published a page-one item that its Dombivli reporter, Bhagwan Mandlik had bought his 340 sq ft flat from Hari Om Builders Developers with a loan from the State Bank of India in 2007, and detailed the registration details. The reason: BJP MLA, Ravindra Chavan had publicly accused the journalist who had written about illegal constructions in that city in Mumbai's neighbourhood, of living in a house 'given free' by someone.
