(C) Gangadhar Bhattacharya
Gangadhar Bhattacharya, who was close to Rammohun Roy, brought out the first Indian weekly newspaper, the Bengal Gazette.
The passage clearly states: "The first to appear was the weekly Bengal Gazette, brought out by Gangadhar Bhattacharya." Note that James Augustus Hickey edited a different Bengal Gazette (an English paper); the Indian-owned weekly was Bhattacharya's. Don't confuse the two. Source: Print Comes to India, Chapter 5.
