Mumbai: In a reshuffling, Times Now editor-in-chief Rahul Shivshankar has put in his papers. As per media reports, on 20 June, Shivshankar quit all the WhatsApp groups of Times Now, including the editorial group, without any prior announcement.

Reports also suggest that there was a clash between him and the management, and Times Group MD Vineet Jain was a part of the decision. 21 June would be Shivshankar’s last working day at the channel.

Shivshankar had been associated with Times Now since its inception in 2005 when he joined the channel. However, he had a brief break from 2013 to 2016 when he left the group and served as the editor-in-chief of News X.

Post Arnab Goswami's departure from Times Now in 2016, Shivshankar returned to the channel and was roped in as the editor-in-chief.
