UPDATE: Crime Patrol will air Teacher Recruitment Scam case despite getting warning from Chautala family

Teacher Recruitment Scam Controversy

Crime Patrol Dastak | Om Prakash Chautala Case

Crime Patrol Dastak episode based on the Teacher Recruitment Scam landed in controversy after the family of former Haryana Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala objected to the telecast while the case was still under consideration in the High Court. The episode was scheduled to air on 23rd and 24th February on Sony TV.

According to sources:
“Crime Patrol Dastak team has received a notice from the Chautala family stating that since the case is under High Court consideration, the team should not air an episode based on the Teacher Recruitment Scam of 1999-2000. If the show is aired, they may move the High Court on the issue.”

As the Chautala camp reportedly did not receive any response from Sony TV or the Crime Patrol team, it appeared that the show would still be aired despite the notice.

During an interaction with a news channel, anchor Anup Soni stated that the Crime Patrol team was aware of the objection notice but the episode would still air as scheduled on Saturday and Sunday.

The dispute between the Chautala family and the Crime Patrol team reportedly began after Sony TV started airing teasers for the episode.

“We saw a teaser on Sony TV in which anchor Anup Soni announced that a show on the alleged scam would air on February 23. They should not have done this while the matter is still under court consideration,”

said a member of the Chautala legal team.

The upcoming episode was based on the alleged teacher recruitment scam that took place during the NDA rule in 1999-2000. The episode depicted how former Haryana Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala, his son Ajay Chautala, and their associates allegedly carried out irregularities in the recruitment of nearly 3200 teachers.

Earlier that January, the Indian broadcast ministry had also asked Sony TV not to telecast episodes based on the 16 Dec 2012 Delhi Case. A notice was reportedly sent to the Crime Patrol producers after teasers for the episode were aired on television. The episode was later delayed indefinitely.

क्राइम पट्रोल का हरियाणा शिक्षक भर्ती घोटाला (1999-2000) पर आधारित प्रकरण मुश्किल में आ सकता है। ये घोटाला 1999-2000 के दौरान हरियाणा के मुख्यमंत्री ओम प्रकाश चौटाला, उनके पुत्र अजय चौटाला और संबंधित अधिकारियों द्वारा किया गया बताया जाता है। इन लोगों पर आरोप है कि 3200 जूनियर शिक्षक भर्ती के दौरान फाइनल रिजल्ट में छेड़छाड़ कर उसे बदला गया और इसके बदले भारी रिश्वत ली गई।

गौरतलब है कि इन दिनों सोनी टीवी पर दिखाया जा रहा क्राइम पट्रोल दस्तक का विज्ञापन इसी चौटाला प्रकरण पर आधारित है। चौटाला परिवार को इस बात से आपत्ति है कि यह शो न दिखाया जाए क्योंकि मामला अभी भी हाई कोर्ट के अधीन है।

सूत्रों के अनुसार:

“क्राइम पट्रोल दस्तक की टीम को चौटाला परिवार से एक नोटिस मिला है कि जब तक यह मामला कोर्ट के अधीन है, इसे टीवी पर प्रसारित न किया जाए। अगर ये मामला क्राइम पट्रोल पर दिखाया गया तो टीम पर केस दर्ज किया जा सकता है।”

नोटिस भेजने के बाद अब तक चौटाला परिवार को कोई प्रतिक्रिया नहीं मिली थी, इसलिए संभावना जताई जा रही थी कि शो का प्रसारण तय समय पर ही होगा। एक न्यूज़ चैनल के साथ बातचीत में अनूप सोनी ने कहा कि वो और क्राइम पट्रोल की टीम इस नोटिस से अवगत हैं, मगर शो का प्रसारण अपने निर्धारित समय पर ही होगा।
