According to reports, the broadcaster is in preliminary talks with some parties to sell the TV channel and Baba Ramdev is among the interested parties.
It comes after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday registered a case against NDTV's co-founder Prannoy Roy, his wife Radhika Roy, a private company and others for causing an alleged loss to a bank.
CBI sources said that the case has been registered for causing an alleged loss of Rs. 48 crore to ICICI bank.
CBI searches were conducted today at four places including Delhi and Dehradun.
