Everyone has been a victim of fake or unverified news once in their lifetime. In this interview with Abhijeet, we crack his source of the recent news he shared on whatsapp group

Reporter: You recently reported about Kartarpur being unsafe. What are your sources?

Abhijeet: Just a fucked up site named dhunt, which no one reads. Though their credibility is next to zero, I thought of spreading the news.

Reporter: If the news was true, don’t you think big players including NDTV,AJTAK etc would have covered this?

Abhijeet: I don’t care. I just wanted to make everyone nervous. He also spoke something in hindi which translated to (gand fadna).

Reporter: Don’t you think spreading unverified news can cause harm sometimes?

Abhijeet: No, not at all!

Reporter: It was nice chatting with you.
