EU Disinfo Lab, a Brussels-based NGO specialising in targeting disinf ormation campaigns, has published a new report, “Bad Sources: How Indian news agency ANI quoted sources that do not exist”. It said that it received no comment from either ANI or other Indian publications which reprinted ANI stories with content that referenced the groups and personalities which were allegedly made up.
The EU DisinfoLab report, published on Thursday, is the third in the series of reports published in 2019 and 2020, which look at an Indian influence network based on fake NGOs and experts allegedly run by the Delhi-based Srivastava Group and “amplified by ANI”.
