The Delhi High Court Thursday questioned Arnab Goswami for running a parallel investigation and trial in the Congress leader Shashi Tharoor’s wife Sunanda Pushkar’s death case and directed the journalist to be bound by his undertaking on showing restraint and bringing down the rhetoric while covering the matter. Justice Mukta Gupta said the court was not saying that anyone will gag the media but at the same time, sanctity of investigation must be maintained. The judge said once the police investigation is going on in the criminal case, there cannot be a parallel investigation by the media. The high court referred to a 2017 order in which it was stated that “Press cannot ‘convict anyone’ or insinuate a person is guilty or make any other unsubstantiated claims.
