Indian TV news channels have aired weird stories several times. They have swayed away from the main topic and became a laughter stock in the process. Whatever be the reason for the comedy they do, viewers expect them to do at least the basic copy check. Which it seems they are failing at.
Recently someone shared a screenshot of the Aaj Tak channel airing the news of the occupation of Chernobyl Nuclear Plant by India. Yeah, India not Russia.
The same screenshot was shared by others also.
