A month back the news of a Delhi couple with ISIS links that had allegedly planned to carry out a suicide attack in Delhi, a link between the couple and NDTV had emerged.
NDTV’s Nidhi Razdan regularly interacted with a Twitter account that was run by Jahanjeb Sami (husband) and Hinda Bashir Beg, the couple that was arrested by the Delhi police from south Delhi’s Jamia Nagar. According to sources, the couple was in contact with the ISIS unit from Afghanistan’s Khorasan province and they were allegedly planning to carry out a suicide attack in Delhi.
Now the award winning journalist Nidhi Razdan has decided to quit NDTV, where she worked for 21 years. She will be heading to teach journalism at Harvard University later in the year. The face of the show Left Right and Centre, Nidhi has covered many important global assignments in external affairs and politics.
In a series of tweet Nidhi said:
Some personal and professional news: after 21 years at NDTV, I am changing direction and moving on. Later this year, I start as an Associate Professor teaching journalism as part of Harvard University’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
NDTV has taught me everything. It has been my home. I am proud of the work we do, the stories we cover, the values we stand for, especially at a time when the much of the media has surrendered its objectivity
I will miss my colleagues deeply. Most of all, I want to thank Prannoy Roy and Radhika Roy for being the most incredible mentors and bosses. You took me in as a 22 year old and believed in me. I never say never, so TV may one day beckon again. Wish me luck
