BJP Leader Files FIR Against HW News Network’s Consultant Editor Vinod Dua

The complainant also alleges that Mr. Dua, on his show, has made an accusation about the present politics of “buying and purchase of politicians” and has specifically accused the BJP of the same.

New DelhI| On Wednesday, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Spokesperson Naveen Kumar has filed an FIR with Delhi Crime Branch against HW News Network’s Consultant Editor, Mr. Vinod Dua, for his comments on Delhi riots during “The Vinod Dua Show” that airs on HW News Network’s Hindi channel.

In his complaint, Kumar has taken objections over several comments made by Mr. Dua in his show in reference to the police and government’s inaction during Delhi riots, Jyotiraditya Scindia joining the BJP and the Vyapam Scam.

As per the FIR copy, the complainant says, “Mr. Dua as a journalist is running a show namely “The Vinod Dua Show” on YouTube channel. In its show dated 11.03.2020 namely “Ep 245: Jyotiraditya Scindia Joins BJP”, Mr. Dua has made false and imposter reporting whereby he used the genuine sources & impersonates it with false, made-up sources.” The complainant claims that certain contents of the show were “100% false” designed to deceive and do harm.

The complainant also alleges that Mr. Dua, on his show, has made an accusation about the present politics of “buying and purchase of politicians” and has specifically accused the BJP of the same. The complainant has also expressed anguish over Mr. Dua allegedly referring the Vyapam Scam as “BJP Era Scam”.

Raising objections over the reporting of the Delhi riots done by Mr. Dua in his show, the complainant says, “Mr. Dua had conducted misreporting over the Delhi riots and stated that the central government had done nothing to stop the violence.” He further adds, “Mr. Dua reported that the BJP was solely responsible for Delhi riots and Prime Minister & Home Minister are directly responsible for that.”

The complainant has also raised objection over Mr. Vinod Dua questioning the slogans given by BJP leaders like Kapil Mishra, Anurag Thakur, and Parvesh Verma before the Delhi riots.

Mr. Dua, however, has not been formally contacted by the police in this issue. “The complainant has been sharing the copy of FIR with everyone. I came to know about the FIR from external sources. The police have not yet contacted me. I will not react till such time the police contacts me,” Mr. Dua told HW News.

Mr. Sujit Nair, Managing Editor at the HW News Network, said, “An FIR has been registered against our Consultant Editor Vinod Dua by the Delhi Police based on a complaint filed by Naveen Kumar, BJP Delhi spokesperson. The complaint was filed objecting to a few statements and observations made by him in HW News Hindi’s ‘The Vinod Dua Show’. Needless to say, HW News stands with Vinodji.”
