Media

Our news channels are functioning in the most irresponsible manner. There is no code of conduct. Arushi's murder case is still unresolved thanks to the manner in which the police and later on CBI handled the case. The police concluded in it's investigation that Arushi's father was the main accused since his daughter had an affair with his domestic servant Hemaraj and Arushi's father in a fit of rage murdered his own daughter. This was reported widely by the news channels and the viewers were made to believe that Arushi's father was indeed the murderer. The story fabricated by the police was baseless as there was no proof of his involvement of this murder. Did the police find the weapon which was used to murder the girl. Did the police try to match fingerprint which was later on found by CBI. The media sensationalised ths news and in the process increased it's TRP disregarding basic human values. The price had to be paid by Arushi's father who lost his job besides the trauma and pain he was going through at that time. Suspect is not guilty until proved in the court of law. Media had no right to tarnish the image of a dentist who was just one of the suspects in this murder mystery. There are innumerable other cases which can be cited to explain how much irresponsible media is when it comes to reporting news which can lower the dignity and honour of a responsible person in this country
