NDTV Deletes Report After Health Ministry Calls Out Claim That SC Judges Will Get To Choose Covid Vaccine

News media organisation NDTV today (1 March) was called out over a fake news report which claimed that Supreme Court judges will be able to choose which Covid-19 vaccine they are inoculated with.

The news report claimed that the Supreme Court judges who will be administered the Covid-19 vaccine tomorrow will be free to choose whether they are inoculated with Covishield or Covaxin - the two vaccines currently approved by the DCGI.

Incidentally, NDTV has also courted another controversy today after it was caught misquoting Kotak Mahindra Bank's MD Uday Kotak.

This tweet conveyed that Kotak was claiming a sense of scepticism among the Indian populace against getting inoculated by the Covid-19 vaccine.

The misquoted tweet has now been deleted by NDTV and a corrected version has been posted in its place.
