Clarifying that the account which posted the news of Victor Banerjee's hoax death on Facebook was not his own, Jisshu Sengupta took to Twitter and wrote, "This is not me. It’s a fake account. Please don’t believe anything that’s written from any social media accounts that are not verified under my name."
