Patana: Jharana Das, the younger sister of deceased journalist Arindam Das, tweeted Friday afternoon stating that the family does not need any financial assistance. She stated that false information is being spread on various social media platforms on this issue.
“In tough times, this is what I could think of doing to stop the rumours circulating about my brother Arindam Das. We are not in a condition to accept this. Try to think what if it happens with your own family. Please stop making fun of anyone’s tragedy,” Jharana tweeted.
