Sometimes, news channels end up making huge blunders on live television that could cost them their reputation and their authenticity.

Headline: After 17 years MQM leader Amir Khan exonerated in a murder case.

Didn’t know Indian actor Amir Khan was in Pakistan for the last 17 years.. pic.twitter.com/YcUmg6LKfk
For those who don’t know, the MQM leader was reportedly sentenced to 10 years in jail by an anti-terrorism court for his involvement in killing two activists of his then-rival in 2003.
And, this is what he looks like.

Naturally, the actor’s fans were upset with this piece of news and they heavily trolled the news channel for the error.
