One of India's web publication portal, ScoopWhoop, has caught themselves in a scandal that is technically going to ruin their company. The controversy is around them running a campaign against the opposition party in exchange for money (bribe, to be precise!) OUCH! I totally did not expect this from them.

In a sting operation, Cobrapost, known for their investigative journalism, exposed three of ScoopWhoops' digital strategists, Vidushi Daura and Akash, and Mishra. Vidushi and Akash blatantly denied anything during their first meeting with Cobrapost's senior journalist Pushp Sharma. However, another meeting with Mishra revealed the underlying politics within their company.

Mishra has supposedly said that since they have over 300 to 400 million users, it will be quite easy for them to promote such campaigns. According to ENTRACKER, Mishra had "agreed to run evocative jingles using languages like Pappu, Bua, and Babua for Rahul Gandhi, Akhilesh Yadav, Mayawati that would project the leaders in an undignified manner." In exchange for anything between 6 crore to 50 crore, they were ready to do content against the opposition party. SHOCKING!

Hear it for yourself here.
