Former NDTV senior journalist Nidhi Razdan's shocker of tweet to say that the Harvard job that she had quit the channel for, in fact, did not exist and that she was the victim of a phishing attack.

"I have been the victim of a very serious phishing attack. I'm putting this statement out to set the record straight about what I've been through. I will not be addressing this issue any further on social media.

"In June 2020 and after 21 years with NDTV, I decided ta mave on and said that I would be joining Harvard University as on Associate Professor of Journalism.

"I had been given to believe that I would be joining the University in September 2020. While I was making preparations to take up my new assignment, I was later told that due to the ongoing pandemic, my classes would commence in January 2021. Along with these delays, I began noticing a number of administrative anomalies in the process being described to me. At first, I had dismissed these anomalies as being reflective of the new normal being dictated by the pandemic, but recently the representations being made to me were of on even more disquieting nature. As a result, I reached out to senior authorities at Harvard University for clarity. Upon their request, I shored some of the correspondence that I believed I had received from the University."
