New Delhi, Sep 7 (PTI) The Competition Commission has ordered a fresh investigation against public broadcaster Prasar Bharati on complaint of alleged abuse of dominance with regard to infrastructural facilities for FM radio broadcasting. The CCI order follows a complaint filed by one Clear Media India Pvt Ltd, which provides Frequency Modulation (FM) radio broadcasting services in various cities, against Prasar Bharti and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. While the tower apparently collapsed in 2014, differences emerged between the two parties subsequently, culminating into a complaint at CCI. Finding prima facie evidence of violation of Section 4 of the Competition Act by the public broadcaster, CCI has asked the Director General (DG), its investigation arm, to carry out a probe. Following todays order, both the cases would be combined and the DG has been asked to submit a combined probe report.
