A day after three news channels got notice over activist Disha Ravi's petition - linked to the coverage of her arrest in a case filed related to the farmers' protest toolkit shared by Swedish teen climate crusader Greta Thunberg earlier this month - the Delhi High Court today made observations about "sensationalism" in reporting.

New Delhi, 19 February 2021

As per news report of NDTV, the High Court asked Delhi Police to stick to the stand that it hasn't leaked details while the reporters were asked to ensure the "probe is not hampered". At the same time, Ms Ravi, 22, has been "directed to ensure that there is no indulgence to malign the police and other authorities". In her petition, the activist had sought action against three news channels - News 18, India Today, and Times Now - for publishing contents of her alleged private chats, thereby violating Cable TV Network rules.
