Former Information and Broadcasting minister Manish Tewari says TRP numbers have always been suspected in India. He says, if fraud or cheating is established, the top CEO and anchors of TV channels can be arrested. Tewari pointed that if proper and indepth investigation is carried by Mumbai Police, the media industry's worst kept secrets would be out. Tewari further added, "Various sections of the Indian penal code will apply. If the evidence of wrongdoing is unimpeachable, it is enough for the I&B ministry to cancel the license of the broadcaster."
