No lights.
No camera.
No action.
Only a shocking 'pack up'...
This was probably the most unexpected and the most emotional performance.Our very own superstar found a place inbetween the stars.
Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput committed suicide on Sunday ,14th June by hanging himself in his Bandra apartment. No suicide note was found at the spot. After the incident the whole country is in shock as he was a promising and rising star.
However, in this time of grief and sadness, India Today Group's Aaj Tak published an emotionally driven report with some screenshot of tweets which they alleged were posted by Rajput before he took his own life. Following the publishing of the report, many other websites such as newstracklive.com, india.com, etc and some twitter users posted the same without any clarification.
Later on, Aaj Tak removed the report following which the other websites either removed their content or renamed it as Fact Check.
It is evident from the shared screenshots of the tweets that the tweets are fake as there is misalignment of the user picture and the content below it as well as the date and time format is wrong.
Journalist Shamina Shaikh as well as Twitter India confirmed that the tweets were fake.
Since the demise of the star, Aaj tak has been at the frontline sharing insensitive reports and contents.
So the main question is - "Is it really necessary to spread misinformation to increase TRP and seek attention about such an incident in this time of grief"?

But this claim is false and the mass resignation happened due to a completely unrelated reason.

Spitting. Name-calling. Physical assaults. The outbreak of COVID-19 has coincided with a dramatic escalation in racially motivated incidents towards people of Asian descent around the world. US President Donald Trump has fuelled these attacks with his strident criticisms of China’s handling of the pandemic, unsubstantiated claims the virus originated in a lab in Wuhan and constant references to COVID-19 as “the Chinese virus”.
