Sakshi TV channel, owned by Jagan who was arrested in a disproportionate assets case, had recently released and telecast details of calls, made and received by the CBI Joint Director (Hyderabad Zone) V V Lakshmi Narayana, while accusing him of "leaking" sensitive information pertaining to the ongoing probe against Jagan to a section of media and his former classmate Chandrabala Vasireddy. The channel had also claimed that there was a "big conspiracy" to harm the Kadapa MP.
In her complaint, Chandrabala said that Sakshi news channel had telecast a programme on June 21 with a view to cause damage to her dignity and reputation by making public the confidential information of the call details of her mobile phone.
On the basis of the complaint, the cyber crime police station under Cyberabad Commissionerate registered a case against K Yadagiri Reddy, senior correspondent of Sakshi, and M Srinivasa Rao, Inspector of Police of Nacharam police station.
They are booked under sections 120B (punishment of criminal conspiracy) and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of the Indian Penal Code, besides various sections of the IT and Indian Telegraph Act, Cyberabad Police Commissioner Dwaraka Tirumala Rao said today.
The case is being investigated by a team led by Assistant Commissioner of Police, he said.
