The Man Behind the Narada Sting Is a Bhadrolok Hero

A Malayali journalist called Mathew Samuels is the man behind the Narada News sting operation.

At first we thought Mamata was coming. Or maybe Shahrukh Khan. The throng of journalists, camera, lights and policemen outside the Calcutta Press Club could only be justified if the press conference to be held there was for a serious celeb. But the man who addressed us was an unassuming Malayali journalist called Mathew Samuels.

Mathew Samuels is the man behind the Narada News sting operation, which shows some of the Trinamool Congress’ most senior leaders and Mamata’s closest associates accepting wads of cash on camera. After the authenticity of the videos was questioned, Samuels came forward and said he was the man holding the camera.
