TRP scam: Ex-BARC CEO sent in judicial custody

His lawyer Kamlesh Ghumre argued that Dasgupta was CEO of the Broadcast Audience Research Council but there was a board of directors and a disciplinary committee above him. He was not the "whole and sole of the BARC," the lawyer said, adding that he could not have manipulated the rating system. Mumbai police have alleged that Dasgupta misused his official position and manipulated the TRP of certain TV channels.
