Mumbai: With the media publishing multiple reports and theories on Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, the Bombay High Court has said it expects media organisations to exercise restraint while publishing or reporting any details about investigation in the case of the actor’s death.
The court was hearing two petitions which claimed a ‘media trial’ was going on in the case of Rajput’s death and sought for it to be stopped.
A division bench of Justices A A Sayed and S P Tavade said the media should report in such a manner that it does not hamper the investigation.
One of the petitions was filed by eight former IPS officers against the “unfair, malicious and false media campaign” against Mumbai Police.
