Siddharth Vardarajan, the founder editor of The Wire magazine which has published these articles, is an internationally reputed journalist who went on to become the national editor of one of India's largest and most reputed english daily newspaper (The Hindu). He studied in London School of Economics and Columbia University, has taught at New York University and still does at University of California, Berkley.

So forgive me for not believing your claim (based on someone else's weak claim) that his magazine is peddling fake news.

It's basic journalism to vet any source and have their claims verified (through other sources and methods), which 'The Wire' is known to do even more diligently than other indian media outlets. Moreover, if this was actual fake news Meta / FB would have immediately sued The Wire to have their articles taken down immediately and also filed defamation suits against them.
