Watching Aajtak (or Aaj Tak) was an altogether difference experience on Saturday night as viewers were treated to the sight of a ghost that came riding a horse in the night amid a graveyard in Benares.
The so-called News Channel showed the legend about a graveyard where the scion of Tipu Sultan are buried. The channel not only aired all the superstitions prevalent among locals but also recreated the entire scenes as told by the local residents.
So with all the special effects of horror movies and taking cue from Ramsay Brothers the Aaj Tak showed its viewers Tipu Sultan, wearing a white robe, his face barely visible, sword in the hand and riding down the grave yard.
The programme 'Khauf' (Urdu word meaning fear) was aired today. Star and Channel 7 have similar programmes too but it seems all of them are out to prove that they will establish the presence of supernatural and ghost to Indian viewers.
