It’s often said that journalism is literature in a hurry! It couldn’t be truer! A reputed newspaper published the photo of actor Randeep Hooda, who played the role of Charles Sobhraj in the movie Main Aur Charles, as it reported the news of Nepal Supreme Court ordering the convict's release.
The actor took to Twitter to express his surprise over the blunder.
Charles Sobhraj, the notorious French serial killer of Indian and Vietnamese parentage, was deported to France on Friday, hours after being released from a prison in Nepal where he served most of his sentence for a string of murders across Asia in the 1970s.
Sobhraj, 78, was released from the Central Jail in Kathmandu on Friday morning and taken in a heavily guarded police convoy to the Department of Immigration. His release came two days after the Supreme Court ordered that he be freed and deported to his home country.
