Overview

• The Guwahati Police Crime Branch registered an FIR under BNSS sections 196(2), 299 and 302 against the anchor and Shrishti Raghuvanshi for unsubstantiated “nar bali” claims.
• Authorities issued fresh summons after both failed to appear on earlier dates set for June 23 and 24.
• During the broadcast, the anchor presented human sacrifice as fact and Shrishti agreed without citing any credible source or authority.
• The news channel and Shrishti have since apologised on air, calling the allegation a “complete error of judgment.”
• Meanwhile, a multi-state SIT holds five suspects in Shillong custody as it finalises forensic and financial evidence before filing formal charges in Raja Raghuvanshi’s honeymoon murder.
