New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Thursday directed the Centre to inform if action has been taken against media channels that are not members of the News Broadcasting Standards Authority (NBSA). The HC was hearing a complaint filed by actor Rakul Preet Singh.

The court sought to know if the I&B Ministry took action and found if channels beyond the reach of NBSA violated Cable TV Networks Act in broadcasting content relating to Rakul. Justice Prathiba M Singh sought the status report and listed the matter for further hearing on May 20.

Meanwhile, the I&B ministry filed an affidavit where it informed that NBSA has passed 10 orders in respect of the complaint filed by the actor. It said these orders relate to action taken by NBSA on news reports/programmes telecast by 13 TV channels.

The ministry also informed HC that they are examining the representation of the actor where she has sought the court’s intervention to ensure the media does not broadcast or publish any content connecting her with Rhea Chakraborty drug case.
