A political war has erupted over WhatsApp transcripts of TV anchor Arnab Goswami submitted by Mumbai Police to a court, with the opposition demanding an investigation into chats linked to the Balakot air strike to retaliate against the terror attack on a security convoy in Pulwama in February 2019. The transcripts are a part of the Mumbai police charge-sheet on the ratings scam, in which Arnab Goswami's Republic TV and two other channels are accused of gaming TRPs or Television Rating Points by manipulating households metred for viewership.
