Taking the X, Amit Mishra posted, “I am very disappointed with the operation being conducted in the media. I have always respected the press, but while the news itself can be accurate, the picture used is mine- which is completely wrong. Which is completely wrong. I must stop using my image for unrelated stories, or I have to be forced to take legal action.”
