Former BARC CEO Partho Dasgupta claimed in a handwritten statement to Mumbai Police that he received $12,000 from Republic TV Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami for two family holidays.
He added he also got Rs. 40 lakh between 2017 and 2019, in return for manipulating channel’s ratings. “Even before launching Republic TV he’d talk to me about plans for the launch,” Dasgupta stated.
