In Ayodhya, Zee boss Punit Goenka dubs Sony deal termination as 'a sign from the Lord'
Sony Group Corp on Monday said it is calling off a USD 10 billion merger of its India unit with Zee Entertainment, following a stalemate over who will lead the merged entity. A standoff over leadership is said to be the reason for the deal being called off. Sony had resisted demand by Zee chief executive Punit Goenka, who was investigated by market regulator SEBI over fraud allegations, to stay on after the merger.
