During a live broadcast, Lokshahi’s editor, Kamlesh Sutar, expressed his intention not to invade anyone’s privacy, but to seek clarification from Somaiya related to the authenticity of the video and any related complaints. Furthermore, Sutar revealed that several clips, similar to the one involving Somaiya, with various people have also caught their attention.
Although the broadcast of such content, the channel emphasized, can be seen as an intrusion into privacy, the importance of Somaiya’s position within a major political party required addressing any potential wrongdoing and surveillance. Faced with the compromising situation involving a figure like Somaiya, the channel was astonished, who frequently accuses opposition leaders of misconduct and corruption, raising the possibility of a conspiracy.
Vidya Chavan, leader of the Sharad Pawar faction, said that Kirit Somaiya has no moral right to insult others when he himself has indulged in obscene things. Involving Kirit Somaiya, he was personally disappointed by the video. His offensive gestures and his aggressive behavior are worrying. Chavan said: “If such misconduct is true, I believe appropriate action should be taken, as a prominent figure known for exposing corruption.” Kirit Somaiya wrote a letter to Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who has responsibility for the Home Ministry, urging a thorough investigation into the controversial video broadcast by Lokshahi, shortly after the video went viral.
He claims that on the opening day of the assembly session, the publication of the video was politically motivated with the intention of tarnishing his reputation. A senior journalist and editor for the Lokshahi channel, Kamlesh Sutar, who first broadcast the controversial video, told the Free Press Journal that he and his team faced an ethical dilemma regarding the decision to broadcast such a private conversation on the on live Tv. Sutar reiterated several times that neither he nor his channel intended to engage in voyeurism during the conversation. His main goal was to shed light on the truth and expose the facts behind the incident.
