YSR death scandalously linked to RIL and Mukesh Ambani
 |
A news report on TV5 scandalously linked RIL to the helicopter crash of the former Chief Minister YS Rajasekharan Reddy. YSR, as the Chief Minister was fondly referred to by his supporters, was killed in a helicopter crash on September 2, 2009. The report accused RIL citing the minister’s interference in RIL’s gas interests from the KG basin.
RIL released a statement wherein it condemned, rebutted and rejected the allegations. RIL also expressed its shock and outrage stating that the news was “false, malicious, motivated and libelous”. The statement further read, “It is the dirty handiwork of our business rivals in cohoots with TV5. However, we cannot and will not let this criminal attempt by TV5 to besmirch our reputation. We will file a criminal complaint against the channel. We also demand that the central and state governments initiate an immediate investigation into these despicable acts and bring the culprits to justice.”
Moneycontrol quoted, “RIL said it would file a criminal complaint against the channel and demanded the central and state government to order an investigation against the acts of violence against its properties.”
