A good writeup by Forbes.

Big ad companies and media houses need to put pressure against false advertisement. I have not seen a single article by any indian newspaper on this topic.

Offtopic-I would like this to blow up disproportionately because the only way whitehatjr is gonna backoff is because of a media backlash

I think WhiteHatJr was asked by the indian advertising self-regulation body to take down five misleading ads.

Yeah all those media houses frequently had prime time spots & full page ads from the parent company so any actual journalism is not going to appear.
