Original review summary

The clipping is not genuine news: it came from a Navbharat Times satirical article in the “HawaBaji” section, which publishes jokes and light-hearted content for entertainment. The article’s social-media disclaimer says its content is for readers’ enjoyment and should not be taken as Navbharat Times agreeing or disagreeing with it.[S1]
