      News Outlets Run Clipped Video Claiming Rakesh Tikait Threatened The Media

      Zee News, Republic TV, News 18 Rajasthan among other news outlets ran a clipped video with a story claiming farmer leader Rakesh Tikait has threatened media houses.

      BOOM found that in the original video Tikait, in fact, says that it is the government that will target media houses soon.

      The clipped video with the missing context was also tweeted by Zee News editor-in-chief Sudhir Chaudhary with the same false claim.

      The video is viral after a recent sting operation by Zee News on Rakesh Tikait's brother and president of the Bhartiya Kisan Union Naresh Tikait where the latter can be heard saying sugarcane can be procured at a price lower than the minimum support price (MSP) fixed by the government.

      In his tweet, Chaudhary says 'Rakesh Tikait's next target media house. @ZeeNews showed the truth so this threat? else?'.

      (Hindi: राकेश टिकैत का अगला टारगेट मीडिया हाउस हैं। @ZeeNews ने सच दिखाया तो ये धमकी ? नहीं तो ?)
