Staff correspondent, August 26, 2015, NewsCruch
Well-known Pakistani journalist Faisal Qureshi has made a short video disputing and mocking Times Now's claim that it spoke to Dawood Ibrahim's wife Mehjabeen Sheikh.
Getting hold of Dawood Ibrahim's Karachi residence phone number, a Times Now reporter managed to place a call and got connected to a woman, who identified herself as the mafia don's wife. When the reporter asked if he could speak to Dawood Ibrahim, she said it was not possible as he was sleeping. She asked the reporter to call later.
The Times Now claimed the report as the scoop of the year though many in India and the whole of Pakistan remained skeptical.
In the spoof video Faisal Qureshi places a similar call and manages to speak to Arnab Goswami's wife. When Faisal Qureshi says he wants to speak to Arnab Goswami she says it is not possible as he has gone mad.
The spoof also recalls other riveting moments of Arnab Goswami show with Raj Thackeray and Meenakshi Lekhi, which reveal the kind of stuff that turned him into a legend.
