Days after the news of Indian Air Force (IAF) destroying the Jaish-e-Mohammad camp in Pakistan’s Balakot appeared, the Indian news channel anchors have gone overboard while reporting the incident.

A Telugu news anchor from TV9 decided to garb a combat uniform while reporting from the news studio in Hyderabad. He probably was not contented wearing the uniform, he also held a toy gun in his hand.

Even more that was evoking interest were the graphics that made the news studio look like a war zone with planes landing in the background. The reporter was seen further shrieking loud describing the attack on the JeM training camps.

The video soon went viral on Twitter and people have come with hilarious responses to the anchor’s theatrics.

“This picture is not from a fancy dress competition. He is a news anchor reporting about the surgical strikes conducted by India. Dreading what he'd wear if he had to report about the early men,” a Twitter user wrote.

The similar droll reporting happened a year ago while reporting the death of Indian actress Sridevi as the Indian media formulated their own speculations and theories of how the actor could have drowned in a bathtub.

Certain news anchors sickeningly turned Sherlock and conducted bathtub investigations on air. In addition, Telugu news channel TV9 morphed visuals of Sridevi lying inside a bathtub, beer bottles placed above the bathtub with Boney Kapoor looking on. While, Prime time news turned into a circus, as anchors jumped inside bathtubs and performed mathematical calculations to demonstrate there was more to the actor’s sudden demise.
