A doctor named Aisha has been trending on Twitter saying that she died of Covid-19. Many have been sharing her photo and expressing their condolences

Aisha’s last tweet read, “ “Haya friends not coping with covid 19. Going to be hooked up to the ventilator sometime today. Remember me, my smile to you. Thank U 4 Ur friendship. Will miss Ull. Be safe take this deadly virus seriously. Luv u guys”

Several prominent Twitter handles including former NDTV anchor Nidhi Razdan, Pallavi Ghosh, paid their tribute to the ‘fallen’ COVID-19 warrior.

However, it has been proved that the account was fake and when netizens questioned, the Twitter account was deleted

Later, Nidhi Razdan tweeted: “Have deleted a previous tweet about a Dr Aisha. Turns out the account was fake ! You have to be really sick to pretend to have COVID”

Your much beloved Dr Aisha @Aisha_must_sayz, who supposedly died of COVID-19 seems a planned Deep State PR, a non-real account. Maybe they killed someone, maybe they didn’t. But it’s purposeful account, with non-genuine tweets and strange timings. Let me explain what I mean.
