Friday, October 21, 2011:Thiruvananthapuaram Medical College police
have today registered a case against Pradeep C Neduman, reporter of a
private channel and channel MD Nikesh Kumar as per Court directive in
connection with Ex-Minister Balakrishna Pillai’s phone controversy.
The Thiruvananthapuram Additional Chief judicial magistrate Court
directed this while hearing a plea filed by Babu, a native of Paravur,
seeking action against the channel reporter for prompting Pillai to talk
through phone while he was serving his prison term.
If found guilty the scribes would have to undergo two year’s of
imprisonment. Pillai, who was undergoing treatment in a private hospital
in the capital as a prisoner, was involved in conversations with the
reporter over the mobile phone.
The conversations were made on September 29 when R. Krishnakumar, a
teacher at a school under the management of Pillai, at Valakam near
Kottarakkara, was attacked.
Pillai had spoken to the reporter on condition that he would not be
quoted as he was not supposed to speak to the media over phone since he
was undergoing imprisonment. The channel, however, aired the telephonic
talk made from the hospital.
