Republic TV distribution head Ghanshyam Singh was also arrested earlier in the alleged fake TRP case. The magistrate sent Ghanshyan Singh to judicial custody till 13 November. Before the arrest of Vikas Khanchandani, 12 people have been arrested by the Crime Branch of Mumbai Police.

Maharashtra Police had filed a charge sheet against Arnab Goswami in the 2018 abetment to suicide. The charge sheet was filed by a Maharashtra police court in Alibag. In the media report, it was told on behalf of the government lawyer that in addition to Arnab Goswami, the names of Feroz Sheikh and Nitish Sarada are included in the police charge sheet.
