Sambit Patra was born on 13 December, 1974. He was recently in the news for being asked to leave a live panel discussion on NDTV when he alleged that the channel has an 'agenda'. On June 12, he was again under fire for tweeting an incorrect report that claimed NDTV had posted a story against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Make in India initiative. It turns out the story was not by NDTV after all. Here is his tweet against the link he shared, in what some said was fake news as reported by a Pakistani publication.
