Ravish Kumar reveals why he created his personal YouTube channel
New Delhi: Noted Journalist and Senior Executive Editor of NDTV Ravish Kumar on Tuesday revealed the reason why he created his personal channel on the popular streaming site YouTube.
In a video released on Tuesday, Kumar said that several YouTube channels have been made using his name and profile hence he decided to create his own channel with original content.
“The country is already marching behind a fake man, so I decided to bust these fake accounts by creating a new one. It’s easy to get used to fake things, but it is never easy to get rid of it.” He said in the initial part of the video while also urging people who run fake channels using his name, to take the channels down.
He also cited a report adding that 80% of people who buy and use fake things are under the impression that they are buying and using the original product. “Those of you who follow fake channels being run using my names, I would request you to not follow them and not be among that 80% of people.” He said.
“A similar study should also be made on fake accounts across social media platforms and how is it damaging the reputation of people. Using these fake accounts, people often spread fake news and content.
“People who have my contact or are in any way connected to me used to often bring these fake channels to my notice to confirm if it was my official account. I was not able to reply to all of the queries. But yes, I had created a YouTube channel in June this year aiming to keep it active, but I was not able to keep it active owing to my busy Prime Time schedule,” he further added.
“With a view to bust these fake channels and to free the audience from their confusion if a particular channel is run by me or not, I will try to keep this channel active by posting content regularly.” He said.

Man murdered, body stuffed into drum: Thane cops arrest nurse, brother; her kin on the run
Thane (PTI): More than a month after a 24-year-old civil engineer was found murdered, with his body stuffed in a drum and thrown into a nullah in Vasai in Palghar district, Thane police on Friday said it had solved the case, leading to the arrest of a nurse and her brother.
The murder of Arbaz Khan was the fallout of a failed extortion bid, the Mumbra police station official added.
"The probe began after Khan, employed with a private firm in Dombivali here, went missing on April 3 while proceeding to Dadar in Mumbai to collect a work-related payment and his father lodged a complaint with police. The analysis of his call records led to nurse Mehjabin Sheikh, with whom he was in a relationship," the official said.
As per technical analysis of his mobile phone, Khan's last location was traced to Vasai, and it was found that Mehjabin was also in the same area around that time, he said.
Khan's body was found in a decomposed state at Virar Phata along the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway in Palghar district on April 5, the official said.
"Mehjabin had loaned Khan some money and she wanted it back. With the intention of extorting money from him, the accused, comprising Mehjabin and her kin, lured him to a secluded spot in Vasai. His hands and legs were tied and he was beaten to death with PVC pipes," the official said.
The accused then stuffed Khan's body in a drum, which was dumped in a nullah there, the official added.
Mehjabin and her brother Tariq Sheikh were arrested on May 7, while her husband Hassan and an associate, identified as Mujazzam Talib Khan, are on the run, Mumbra police station senior inspector Anil Shinde informed.
