Noida / APN News : The issue of employee exploitation and pending salaries is making headlines in the media, considered the fourth pillar of democracy. Neha Sharma Dubey, who worked as an anchor for APN News for seven years, has accused the channel of withholding her salary for six months.
Neha Sharma Dubey wrote on her social media account, “I, Neha Dubey, worked for APN News (Noida) for seven years. My services ended in September 2025, but I have not yet received my six-month salary and the remaining dues. After calls and messages, the Managing Director blocked me.”
This is not the first case where a major news channel has been accused of withholding salaries. Neha Sharma Dubey has accused the channel management of unethical behavior, such as cutting off communication and blocking an employee. Neha Sharma Dubey has tagged Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to seek her hard-earned money.
Nalini Singh Paliwal, the second anchor of APN News, has also leveled allegations against the channel, writing, “This isn’t the first employee to face this. I was also blocked by the MD. Furthermore, my payments haven’t been cleared to date. These organizations hold the law in their pockets; they fear no one. They violate people’s rights.”
Journalist for The Janta Live, Puja Nirbhay Pandey, also wrote on the matter, “This is another face of the media that needs to be exposed. Those who are raising their voices to expose the truth about such organizations and people need our support so that upcoming journalists are aware of such organizations and can speak out if something like this happens to them.”
