A journalist in Karnataka who was accused of filming a midday meal of roti and salt being served to children in a school and posting it on social media, has been given a clean chit by the court. The court stated that the journalist, who works for a regional news channel, had not committed any offense, and that his actions were not done with the intention to defame the school or the midday meal scheme. The court ruled that the journalist had simply highlighted the plight of the children, and that the incident should be a lesson for the government to ensure that such situations do not arise in the future.
