Pakistan TV at it again, mistakes actor Aamir Khan for MQM leader who was sentenced for double murder
By Team Newsable | First Published Apr 18, 2020, 12:20 PM ISTRecently, Pakistan media Dawn had falsely claimed UK PM Boris Johnson’s death. Now, another news channel has telecast Indian actor Aamir Khan's photo mistaking him for jailed MQM leader.
Known for goofups and blunders, the Pakistan News channel has done it once again. This time, one of the news channels allegedly put out Indian actor Aamir Khan's photo mistaking him for an accused involved in a double murder case.
Amir Khan is the former general secretary of Mohajir Quami Movement-Haqiqi and he was named in a double murder case in 2003. However, the leader is now acquitted of all crimes. In a hurry to break news, it seems Indian actor Amir Khan's photo was telecast instead of Amir Khan from MQM.

The screengrab of the Pakistani news channel shared by the journalist on Twitter had news updates written around the picture of Aamir Khan in Urdu. MQM leader Amir Khan is the former general secretary of Mohajir Quami Movement-Haqiqi.
