NBDSA Orders Times Now Navbharat to Remove 'Agenda-Driven' Report on Assamese Singer

A news channel called Times Now Navbharat was told to remove parts of a show about an Assamese singer named Altaf Hussain.

The singer was arrested in August 2024 for a song that some people thought was against certain communities in Assam.

A human rights group complained that the news channel's report was unfair and tried to create a negative story about a whole community.

The news regulator agreed and said the channel had to take down the parts of the show that were not fair.

The channel had to fix the show within seven days.

The singer's song talked about how some people in Assam are treated unfairly, and the news channel's report was found to be biased and not following the rules.
