MUMBAI: After ATN Canada filed a case against Zee TV Canada for going out of its limitation of only catering to women audiences, a new case has been filed against Zee's Telugu arm, Zee 24 Gantalu.

The case was filed by the Kushaiguda police after directions were given by a local court. This was regarding the telecast of a video that contained a statement by TRS chief K Chandrashekhar Rao on the repatriation of Seemandhara region's employees.

The channel has been accused of trying to create disharmony and hatred among the people of Seemandhara by not interpreting Rao's words correctly. An advocate P Sanjay of Moula Ali has approached the court regarding it.

Rao had said that once Telengana is formed, the employees of Seemandhara need to go back to their original place. However, the channel telecast something different is what Sanjay claims.

When indiantelevision.com contacted Zee 24 Gantalu to confirm the news, the news editor of the channel K Siva Prasad said that the police has filed an FIR on the court's orders. "The case will be heard on 12 August. The news piece that Sanjay has objected to was aired last week."
