Kalamassery police issue fresh summons to Anto Augustine in case over ‘CM marriage remarks’
The case pertains to a reported revelation by Augustine that two people had met him with what they claimed was a journalistic scoop on Satheesan’s alleged second marriage
The Kalamassery police have issued a new summons for Anto Augustine, managing director of Reporter TV, and two unnamed individuals. The summons is in relation to alleged defamatory remarks made by Augustine against Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan. Augustine was previously summoned on Monday but failed to attend, citing inconvenience. He has also filed a petition in the High Court to have the First Information Report (FIR) quashed.
The case revolves around an alleged claim by Augustine that two people approached him with a journalistic tip about Satheesan's supposed second marriage. Augustine stated that his channel declined to broadcast the news as his team could not verify the claim. A complaint was filed by Congress spokesperson Raju P. Nair, accusing a conspiracy behind the revelation.
