The arrest was made in Tamil Nadu and the agency will approach the court seeking transit remand of the accused officer to bring him to the national capital for questioning, they said.

Neither outlet adds independent framing or commentary. The core facts, the arrest of a DGCA deputy director in Tamil Nadu, the plan for transit remand to Delhi, and the FIR based on inputs about a bribe demand, are identical in both. With no variation in emphasis or omission, the coverage reads as a single factual dispatch. The story leaves open the next step: the CBI's court application for transit remand, which will determine where and how the questioning proceeds. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - thehindubusinessline.com (neutral report) Carries wire copy verbatim with no added framing - rediff.com (neutral report) Carries wire copy verbatim with no added framing This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
