After the police and special security forces, it was the television news channels which had created a lot of hungama at Dilsukhnagar, where the bomb blasts ripped through the area killing more than 17 persons and injuring 119 others.

The stretch between Konark Theatre chowrastha and Venkatadri theatre was occupied by outdoor broadcast vans of various television channels, with wires of the live telecast equipment criss-crossing over the road. Though the police and the sleuths of National Investigation Agency (NIA) barricaded the area so as to prevent tampering of evidences, the television channels surrounded the area, creating a lot of inconvenience to the investigators. And whenever a VIP visited the spot, the channel people were rushing to him or her to take his bites.

A television channel resorted to over-action by conducting a live debate with politicians and experts from the blast site near Venkatadri theatre, ignoring restrictions by the police. As the debate was going on, the cops received the information that Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde was visiting the area. They immediately evicted the channel crew from the spot and even removed the OB van, which was telecasting the programme live. The debate had to be called off abruptly.
