In order to discredit the Mumbai police and Maharashtra government's probe into the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, reportedly over 80 thousand fake accounts were created on various social media platforms.
According to a report by Hindustan Times, the accounts were created as a part of a smear campaign against Mumbai's police force and Maharashtra government investigating the death of the 34-year-old star, who was found hanging at his Bandra residence.
Mumbai police’s cyber unit found that posts were uploaded on social media platforms from different countries, such as Italy, Japan, Poland, Slovenia, Indonesia, Turkey, Thailand, Romania and France.
Meanwhile, 2 FIRs have been registered under IT Act against many social media account holders & fake accounts for defaming Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh on different platforms, said Rashmi Karandikar, DCP-Cyber Cell, Mumbai Police.
