             Many examples come to mind when it comes to trial by media. Aarushi murder case is the perfect example of how talwars were shown as murderers by many media organizations. Style of writing and headlines were such that the readers and viewers were made to believe that the Talwars were guilty of killing their daughter. Even though the case is still pending before the court but many people have already reached their verdicts. Hopefully the judge of the case isn't one of them. Another case that comes to mind is that of Salman Khan Accident case where media alleged that Salman was behind the wheels of the car that killed people on the pavement. .
             Recently verdict came by court clearly states that Salman Khan was not the culprit, his driver was. .
             Latest Breaking news if OF JNU CASE in which Kahaniya kumar is targeted by media ."If there is evidence against me that I am a traitor then please send me to jail," Kumar said. "But if there is no proof, then spare me this media trial." In his written statement to metropolitan magistrate Loveleen, Kumar added, "I am an Indian. I have full faith in the Constitution as well as the judiciary of the country.".
             2.Influence Of Media On Accused and witness.
             If the media projects a suspect or an accused as if he has already been adjudged guilty well before the trial in courts, there can be serious problem to the accused. Even if ultimately the person is acquitted in the courts, such an acquittal may not help the accused to rebuilt his lost image in society. Excessive publicity in the media characterizing him as a person who indeed committed the crime.
             If the identity of witnesses is published, there is danger of the witnesses coming under pressure both from the accused or his associates as well as from the police. At the early stage, the witnesses want to retract and get out of the case. Witness protection is then a serious casualty. This leads to the witness changing his/her statements in favor or against the accused.
