Delhi Police's Crime Branch registered a case of extortion based on the complaint by the company, police sources said today.
Sudhir Chaudhary, the head of Zee Business, rubbished the allegations as "fabrication" and described it as "pressure tactics" to stop doing stories.
"We have done a series of stories on coal scam based on official papers.
This is a retaliation to our relentless campaign against corruption," Chaudhary told PTI.
