In the most controversial accusations ever, RIL and Mukesh Ambani were linked to the helicopter crash that caused the demise of former Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy or YSR (as fondly referred to by his followers). TV5 based its claims on the information contained in the less known website “The Exile”. The reason cited by the report was that YSR was eliminated due to his interference in RIL’s interests in the gas from the KG basin.

The Hindu quotes, “The channel has thrown all journalistic norms to the winds to malign the reputation of RIL, which has made significant investments in Andhra Pradesh to promote the development of the State and the nation”

RIL retaliated with a statement by its spokesperson which stated, “We are shocked and outraged at the false, malicious, motivated and libelous news on TV5 channel. We condemn, rebut and reject the allegation with the contempt it deserves. The channel has thrown all journalistic norms to the winds to malign the reputation of RIL, which has made significant investments in Andhra Pradesh to promote the development of the state and the nation.” The spokesperson further stated, “RIL is a law abiding corporate citizen. We will file a criminal complaint against the channel.”
