The Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) has paused publishing TV ratings for the next 8-12 weeks following the TRP case. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Mumbai Crime Branch investigating the TRP scam recorded the statement of Republic TV's senior executive editor Abhishek Kapoor on Thursday.

In a press statement, BARC said, "In the light of the recent developments, BARC Board has proposed that its Technical Committee (Tech Comm) review and augment the current standards of measuring and reporting the data of niche genres, to improve their statistical robustness and to significantly hamper the potential attempts of infiltrating the panel homes."
