A collage of screenshots taken from a news bulletin on Aaj Tak is gathering a lot of traction on social media. The same man can be seen in all the screengrabs, wearing a skullcap in some of them. It has been claimed that the real name of the man wearing the cap is Aniket Mishra. However, in different televised debates on Aaj Tak, he is sometimes identified as Nadeem (a Muslim) and sometimes as Pandey (a Hindu).<\/span><\/p>\n

A user named Manish tweeted the picture and wrote that although the man was named Aniket Mishra, he sometimes became Pandey and sometimes Nadeem after wearing a cap in televised debates. (<\/span>Archived link<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A parody Twitter handle named Kaka Aaramdev also made a similar claim while sharing these pictures. (<\/span>Archived link<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Similarly, a handle named <\/span>Spirit of Congress<\/span><\/a> shared the images and wrote, \u201cOne day he is Aditya and the other day he is Nadeem. See how Aaj Tak news channel is fooling the public by paying the same guy to act as Hindu and Muslim.\u201d A number of social media users, including <\/span>Dr. Sangram Patil<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>MM Dhera,<\/span><\/a> also shared the image with a similar claim.<\/span><\/p>\n
