A clip featuring former Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) chief Amarjit Singh Dulat and a reporter purportedly from TV news channel Aaj Tak (as the video frame displays its logo) is going viral on social media.
In the clip, AS Dulat can be seen getting agitated by removing his microphone and yelling when the reporter constantly questioned him about allegedly visiting Pakistan recently.
Dulat repeatedly refuted the reporter's claim; however, it was a pressing topic in the interview.
(Archives of similar claims can be found here and here.)
Is the claim true?: No, the claim is false.

Aaj Tak also denied this claim on their website.
