A.

admissible only if it is a national daily.

B.

admissible as it corroborates the version of the prosecution.

C.

inadmissible as it is without proper police investigation.

D.

inadmissible as being hearsay evidence.

Correct option is D

The correct answer is D. Under the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, a newspaper report is considered hearsay evidence because it is not direct evidence but an account written by someone else. Hearsay evidence is generally inadmissible in court as it does not come from a person who is directly testifying about facts within their personal knowledge.​
