  • No Money-Trail Between Hansa and Republic TV Says Auditor
    Oct 30, 2020 Press Release No money-trail between Hansa and Republic TV says Auditor The phrase “money-trail” is generally used to describe illegal financial transaction between two parties. In a recent media briefing, the spokesperson for the Crime Branch of Mumbai Police is quoted to have stated that “during the course of investigation it has been revealed that there has been a money-trail of transaction between a Hansa group company and ARG Outlier Media Pvt Ltd, the company operating Republic TV channels”. A Police spokesperson had earlier alleged that Hansa Research has made payment of Rs 32 lakhs to Republic TV. This was later modified by the same officer that the money-trail was between Hansa Vision (a group company) and Republic TV, and that Hansa Research name was an error. Hansa Vision, emphatically rejects the allegation of any illegal transaction between Republic TV and itself. On the specific request of Hansa Vision, its statutory Auditor Guru & Ram LLP has certified the accounts and certified the normal routine business transactions entered by Hansa Vision & ARG Outlier Media Pvt Ltd and that that there are no other transactions with them. It was further clarified by them that Hansa Vision has not been a recipient of any money from Republic TV. (See attached Auditor’s statement) The Group CEO of Hansa, Shekar Swamy said: “We have clarified that Hansa Vision India Pvt Ltd as a buyer of Television advertising time has done business with 55 channels including Republic TV in the past. However, no business has been done by Hansa Vision with Republic TV in 2019 or 2020.” Shekar Swamy added further, “The statement from the Mumbai Police quoted in Media says that no one from Hansa has explained the ‘connectivity with suspect channels’, meaning Republic TV.

  • Hansa Research Group Pvt. Ltd No Payment to Republic TV From
    Oct 27, 2020 Press Release No payment to Republic TV from Hansa Research or vice versa Hansa Research categorically states that it has had no business dealings with Republic TV and no payment has been made to the Channel nor received from the Channel. In a statement reported in the Media, the Crime Branch spokesperson investigating the TRP scam has alleged that Hansa Research has made payment of Rs 32 lakhs to Republic TV which is incorrect. Clarifying further, Shekar Swamy, Group CEO Hansa said: “Our Group company Hansa Vision India Pvt Ltd is in the advertising business. It purchases advertising time and space in various TV channels, newspapers, radio, digital platforms and other media regularly for its clients. This is normal, routine business. The last time Hansa Vision has purchased advertising time in Republic TV was two years ago for the period from Sept 2017 to Oct 2018 for a value of Rs 108 lakhs. The Mumbai Police is perhaps incorrectly linking this with the current TRP related investigation.” In the past two years, as part of its business, Hansa Vision has purchased TV advertising time from 55 TV channels for a total value of Rs 13.42 crs on behalf of its clients. In 2019 and 2020, Hansa Vision has not bought any advertising time from Republic TV. Adds Shekar Swamy, “The Hansa Research CEO and team have been repeatedly called by API Mr Sachin Vaze of the Crime Branch, and asked to stay till late hours. They are cooperating with the investigation and have submitted various documents as asked for.

    Param Bir Singh (I.P.S.) 15th Floor, Neelima, B.G. Kher Marg, Malabar Hill, Mumbai – 400 006. 20th March 2021 To, The Hon’ble Chief Minister, Maharashtra State, Mumbai. Respected Sir, Re: Untruthful statements by the Hon’ble Home Minister, Maharashtra in relation to the transfer of Shri Param Bir Singh, IPS as Commandant General of Home Guards, Maharashtra State from the post of Commissioner of Police, Mumbai. 1. With all humility at my command and as a true citizen of the Nation who has stood by his oath as a Police Officer for 32 years, I urge you to take note of the below mentioned facts and stand by the Constitutional values that guide the actions of the high seat you occupy. 2. In deference to transfer order dated 17th March 2021 of the Home Department, Govt. of Maharashtra, I have taken charge of the office of the Commandant General of Home Guards, Maharashtra State on the very next date i.e. 18th March 2021. Prior thereto, I have handed over charge of the affairs of the office of the Commissioner of Police, Mumbai. 3. My transfer was effected under section 22N(2) of the Maharashtra Police Act, 1951 with the reason that my transfer was necessitated by administrative exigencies. I believe that the reason for the transfer noted by the Govt. in my file is to ensure a free and fair investigation in the Antilia incident. 4. On 25th February 2021, a case bearing no. 35/ 2021 was registered with the Gamdevi Police Station as a result of a car with explosives being found 1 at Altamount Road near Antilia, the residence of Shri Mukesh Ambani.
