Huge if this is true. Claim is: They have attained superconductivity at room temperature and ambient pressure. Also superconductivity holds till 127 C.

All that may be true, but dismissing claims by pointing to affiliation and previous work (or lack thereof) is bad form in science. What proves or disproves a claim is data. I do find it striking that they claim a Meissner effect observation, which limits the possibilities to only a correct discovery or deliberate fraud.
