Sushant Sinha’s YouTube thumbnail falsely portrays Punjab IPS officer as terrorist Ghazi Baba
New Delhi: In a now-deleted YouTube video, journalist Sushant Sinha’s interview with former Border Security Force (BSF) officer NN Dubey sparked controversy over a misleading thumbnail. The video discussed Ghazi Baba, a blacklisted terrorist affiliated with Jaish-e-Mohammed and Harkat-ul-Ansar, who was killed during a BSF operation in Srinagar in August 2003.
However, the video’s thumbnail mistakenly depicted Punjab Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) and Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Faiyyaz Farooqui between notorious terrorists Masood Azhar and Osama bin Laden. The image even featured a bullet mark on Farooqui’s forehead, falsely implying he had been shot dead.
Although the video was removed before the time of this report’s publication, neither Sushant Sinha nor his team have issued an official acknowledgment or apology for the serious error.
So, Godi Journalist @SushantBSinha in his recent youtube video has falsely depicted Punjab ADGP IPS officer Faiyyaz Farooqui as a 'terrorist' by using his image to represent Ghazi Baba, the terrorist behind the 2001 Indian Parliament attack, who was killed by BSF in 2003. pic.twitter.com/r75jUz6Bpt

“Goli maro…” slogan raised as ABVP-linked group disrupts play at University of Hyderabad
Hyderabad: A group allegedly linked to the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) disrupted a theatre performance at the University of Hyderabad on Sunday evening. The group is also accused of vandalising property and assaulting students.
Slogans such as “Desh ke gaddaron ko, goli maro…” were raised during the incident, according to eyewitnesses.
According to the Observer Post, the disruption happened as Mahesh Elkunchwar's play Holi was being staged at the Department of Theatre Arts' GB Hall. The group reportedly objected to certain portions of the play, claiming that some phrases hurt religious sentiments.
According to accounts from those present, the situation escalated when individuals forced their way into the venue after damaging fixtures and breaking glass panels outside the auditorium. Students attempting to intervene were reportedly assaulted, and a guest faculty member was allegedly threatened.
Several students sustained injuries and were provided initial treatment at the campus health centre before being shifted to a nearby hospital.
Police later arrived at the scene, brought the situation under control, and escorted those inside the hall to safety. Witnesses said tensions remained high, with some members of the group continuing to raise slogans during the evacuation.
