Riots after TV's 'fake sting' at school

An aspiring journalist involved in a sting operation to expose a government school teacher's involvement in a call girl racket has accused a TV reporter of blackmailing her to take part. She falsely claimed to be a student. Rashmi Singh claims that Prakash Singh, a reporter with the Live India channel, said he threatened to expose her as a prostitute if she refused to help him. Both Rashmi and Prakash have been arrested on charges of criminal conspiracy. Their "fake sting" story, which led to the firing of the teacher, Uma Khurana, also sparked riots outside the school, as this video shows. (Via Times of India)
