Idk if you've noticed but every April 1st, the internet gets transformed into a wasteland of horrible jokes.
And every publication, even the serious ones, pitches in with their own fabricated LOLfests.
But this being #IncredibleIndia, we don't limit our barely-believable headlines to one day of the year.
A few examples JUUUUST from the last 3 months –
