EDITOR'S NOTE: On 13 January, The Quint published a video titled ''How to Prove I’m Indian?’ Muslim Driver Breaks Down Over NRC Fear', in which a cab driver is seen speaking about his fears about a prospective nationwide NRC exercise.

thequint.com/news/politics/…
The driver has since been subjected to severe trolling on SM. For instance, on 15 Jan, Vivek Agnihotri tweeted, "Ok friends, I am told that this man is also a part time junior actor in Bollywood. He was paid by @TheQuint to do this performance in a written script."
(2/6)
The Quint would like to state the following:
➡️The concerned driver has confirmed to us that he has never been an actor.
➡️The original video was recorded by musician Sumit Roy, who has confirmed to us that the interaction was not scripted.
... contd.
