Sardesai tweets fake news on Pranab’s death: Twitteratis take him to cleaners

Rajdeep Sardesai tweeted his condolence on the “fake news” of death of former President Pranab Mukherjee before hastily apologising to his followers.

“My deep deep apologies for failing for fake news being circulated on Pranab Mukherjee passing away. I am deeply distraught for failing for this fake news. It was unprofessional of me to not reconfirm it before tweeting. Apologies to all..and prayers with the family.”

There have been some seriously funny replies on the twitter on Rajdeep Sardesai after he tweeted the fake news. Sample this: 

फेकन्यूज सरदेसाई की आदत है झूठी खबरे फैलाने की,

मुकेश अंबानी ने मुँह पर बोला था कि इसको सीरियसली नहीं लेता है
पूर्व राष्ट्रपति प्रणव मुखर्जी ने लताड़ कर चेतावनी दिया था,
न्यूयॉर्क में लोगों ने लप्पड़ थप्पड़ भी मारा था

बस भूरी काकी के फेके हुए टुकड़ों पर पल रहा है

Mukherjee has lately kept the nation worried on his health. First it was learnt that he had tested positive for Coronavirus. Then came a flurry of news which said that he was being put on ventilator.

(Wait for updates)…
