Shocked by the alleged disclosure of the identity of paramilitary personnel operating in sensitive areas and their family by a television channel, the Delhi High Court on Wednesday directed the Centre to examine the matter and ensure safeguards before telecast.
"It is a serious matter. How can the identity of a soldier be disclosed? This is really very shocking," Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva said.
It directed the Ministries of Information and Broadcasting and Home Affairs to examine the episodes of a TV show and take steps to ensure that the identity of paramilitary personnel and their family members are not revealed, as it could jeopardise their lives.
