India's news media business has suffered its first casualty in the aftermath of the violent farmer protests in the national capital on 26th January. India Today, on Thursday, initiated action against consulting editor Rajdeep Sardesai for inaccurate reporting as shocking events unfolded on Republic Day. Accused of spreading fake news, Rajdeep has been taken off air for two weeks and docked a month's salary.
“One person, 45-year-old Navneet killed allegedly in police firing at ITO. Farmers tell me: the ‘sacrifice’ will not go in vain," tweeted Sardesai as the 'tractor rally' turned violent.

He repeated the same on LIVE TV, while speaking to his colleague Ankit Tyagi. Several observers pointed out Sardesai's crafty use of the word 'allegedly', as he propagated 'fake news' under the garb of newsroom parlance.

This, however, turned out to be false as the Delhi Police released a video which clearly showed a tractor going out of control and overturning, leading to the unfortunate death of the farmer.
Sardesai then retracted his tweet and carried the clarification from the cops. By then, however, the damage was done.
While the farm protestors claim that the deceased Navneet Singh was shot at by Delhi police while on a tractor, this video clearly shows that the tractor overturned while trying to break the police barricades. The farm protestors allegations don’t stand. Post mortem awaited. pic.twitter.com/JnuU05psgR

Sardesai's reportage of the events on Republic Day infuriated several users, particularly those part of right-wing Twitter. However, Sardesai being rapped on the knuckles hasn't satisfied most of them.
A large section is not just calling for his sacking but also his arrest for attempting to fuel a riot-like situation by spreading fake news. #ArrestRajdeepSardesai has been the trop trend on Twitter in the last 48 hours. Some are even asking Twitter to suspend his account.
India today has taken @sardesairajdeep off air for two weeks and cut his one month salary. @delhipolice please arrest him now.

— Amit Malviya (@amitmalviya) January 28, 2021Hello @Twitter You were quick to label My genuine Video as Manipulated...BUT Why haven't you still not suspended @sardesairajdeep account for spreading Fake News intended to incite Riоts??#SuspendRajdeepsAccount pic.twitter.com/gCjRhhwwmL
— Rosy (@rose_k01) January 28, 2021The senior anchor is no stranger to controversies through his career. However, with the advent of social media and the rise of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Sardesai seems to find himself at the centre of a storm far too often.
Be it Madison Square Garden, where Sardesai was involved in a scuffle just ahead of PM Modi's historic address or closer to home during the Demonetisation days, he seems to always whip up reactions among a certain section of the audience.
With India Today acting sternly against him, some are speculating that Sardesai might head for the exit door.
