The Hindu nationalist news website OpIndia has been caught publishing fake news – again. This time the “news” was about veteran journalist Sucheta Dalal, managing editor of the news website Moneylife.
OpIndia reported that Ujjwal Krishnam – who goes by ‘Archive of Cringetopia’ on Twitter and Instagram and was a key character in the Wire-Meta scandal – had accused Dalal of derailing a Me Too investigation. Dalal rejected the allegation and pointed out the error in OpIndia’s reporting. The editor of OpIndia, Nupur Sharma, apologised for the error but didn’t remove the article.
