• Radia Tapes (2008-09): Vir Sanghvi was alleged to be associated with Radia Tapes, one of the biggest scandal of that time. The audio tape of his telephonic conversations with the former corporate lobbyist Niira Radia was leaked and carried by various prominent publications. He was accused of manipulating the article titled 'Time for some transparency' in his column Counterpoint after taking "suggestions" from Radia. After heightened controversy, Sanghvi released a detailed statement in the Hindustan Times on 27 November 2010, focusing that the Radia tapes might be tampered with. In January 2012, the Union government approached the Supreme Court and told that the Radia Tapes were edited, and that the government agencies had no hand in its leakage. The bench gave the verdict in the favour of the government.
