Swara Bhasker and Anubhav Sinha have reacted to this situation. Swara tweeted, “What is more problematic? A thoughtless, baseless, clearly inaccurate allegation by @iamrupadutta or the fact that @NewsNationTV didn’t bother to fact check it & ran it anyway.. The damage being done to #MeToo movement by these kind of lies is big.” Anubhav Sinha writes, “There’s some new channel by the name of News Nation that ran a fake story all evening yesterday. Interviewing a lady who was accusing someone called Anurag Safar. That is News Channels for you. Zero Investigation.”
