Journalist,
anchor and television personality Nidhi Razdan is set to return to NDTV screen
more than a year after falling victim to a recruitment scam. Razdan had left
the news channel in June 2020 after she claimed to have got an offer to join Harvard
University as a professor of journalism. But in the end, it turned out to be a
cyberattack to malign her social status.

Sharing
a teaser video featuring Razdan, NDTV tweeted on Monday, “Next Monday, our new
show starts with Nidhi Razdan. The biggest newsmakers – and no wriggle room.
“No Spin” at 9.30 pm on NDTV 24×7.”

Razdan
also wrote a confirmatory tweet.  “It’s
time to stop the excuses, the whatabouthary and the obfuscation. Happy to be
back home @ndtv. Watch ‘No Spin’, Monday to Thursday at 9:30pm,” she tweeted.

Last
year in January, Razadan shared her horrific experience of being a victim of
phishing as she was offered a fake teaching job by scamsters pretending to be
Harvard University.

In
a blog post on NDTV, Razdan had said that she still kicked herself ‘for being
such an idiot.’

“I
have filed a police complaint and handed over all the documents and communication.
This was a gross criminal act. I am very shaken by this and keep kicking myself
for being such an idiot. With the benefit of hindsight, could I have done more
due diligence? Absolutely, yes. But these scams succeed because they look so
real. What these scamsters put together was good enough for me to throw away a
21-year career in TV,” she wrote in a blog post titled “I Am Nidhi Razdan, Not
A Harvard Professor, But…”.

Razdan’s revelation. Joshua Benton had tweeted to clarify that Harvard
University had ‘no school of journalism, no department of journalism, and no
professors of journalism.’
