The development came a day after NDTV’s promoters Prannoy Roy and Radhika Roy, and former CEO Vikramaditya Chandra were booked by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with an alleged violation of foreign direct investment (FDI) rules.

Chandra was also booked under charges of criminal conspiracy, cheating and corruption, the agency officials said on Wednesday. It is alleged that the company floated 32 subsidiaries in several tax haven countries to bring foreign funds to India through sham transactions, they said.
