After Najeeb’s mother demanded an apology from the Times of India for falsely claiming Najeeb searched for Islamic State on his computer, renowned actor Swara Bhaskar spoke out on the issue.

First Swara re-tweeted India Resists’ tweet calling out the ToI journalist Raj Shekhar Jha for his blatently concocted story, which the Delhi Police itself has denied.

Shame on you @rajshekharTOI for concocting Najeeb's IS link. Police has denied it now. pic.twitter.com/yrX0iyZ5Sm

And then she sent out a tweet voicing her dismay at the fake news published by Times of India.

Shameful that mainstream media including @TOIIndiaNews & their reporter @rajshekharTOI ran a (willfully?) fake unverified story.. unethical! https://t.co/85Jt3IEhjh
