BARC India is highly disappointed with the actions of the Republic Network by disclosing private and confidential communications and misrepresenting the same. Our company reiterates that it has not commented on the ongoing investigation and without prejudice to our company’s rights, it expresses its dismay at the actions of the Republic Network.”
