Bhubaneswar: The arrest of Manoranjan Sarangi, Odisha Television Limited’s (OTV) Chief Financial Officer (CFO) hours after he was forcibly picked up by the Crime Branch from his residence without any notice in the wee hours of Sunday is a sign of the Odisha government’s vendetta against the channel.
Litisha Mangat, OTV’s Operating Officer said, “It is a sign of State government’s vendetta against OTV, considering that our platform has been persistent and fearless in reporting fact based news, much to their displeasure.”
In a statement, Mangat further stated, “The previous manifestation (s) of their rage were the 13 odd false cases filed against OTV over the past two months- wherein some of these cases were granted relief by the court.”
What’s happening in Odisha today is damaging the very fabric of our constitution.
Welcome to my state, where state govt machineries…
