threatens them over phone or resorts
to blackmailing by introducing
himself as ET reporter, Bureau Chief

Chiefs in any area. In the past we
have received complaints that
miscreants posing as reporters,
bureau chiefs and staffers of Early

resorted to blackmailing and
harassment. After verifying the
facts it came to fore that these
miscreants were not associated with
Early Times and were defaming the
newspaper by resorting to such
tactics. If anyone has any complaint
