Congresss spokesperson Ragini Nayak accused senior journalist Rajat Sharma of verbally abusing her on a live debate. She also shared a video proof saying that Sharma commented "kya beh****od" when she was at the live debate, which was hosted by him.
The incident happened during the Lok Sabha election results. Nayak shared the video clip saying, "The first video was brought to my attention on 'X'! In this video, @RajatSharmaLive is seen using an obscene curse word against me On Air! I did a fact-check! I retrieved the raw footage of this same video from the channel (the second video). What could be a lower level of journalism than this? Do you have any answer, Rajat Sharma?"
