Over 80,000 fake accounts were created on various social media platforms on June 14 to discredit Mumbai police and Maharashtra government over the ongoing investigation into the death of 34-year-old Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Mumbai police commissioner has asked the cyber cell to investigate and register cases under the Information Technology Act.

Mumbai police’s cyber unit has made a report where it has been found that posts were uploaded on social media platforms from different countries like Italy, Japan, Poland, Slovenia, Indonesia, Turkey, Thailand, Romania and France.

“We identified the posts in foreign languages because of the hashtags used like #justiceforsushant #sushantsinghrajput and #SSR. We’re in the process of verifying more accounts,” said a senior IPS officer.

“The campaign was run against Mumbai police just to demoralise us at a time when 84 policemen had died due to the pandemic and over 6,000 men were infected with the virus. This was a motivated campaign with vested interest just to malign the image of Mumbai police and derail our line of investigation. Multiple fake accounts on social media were created to target Mumbai police with abusive tones. Our cyber cell is conducting a thorough investigation into this matter and all those found violating the law will be prosecuted under relevant sections of the Information Technology Act,” said Param Bir Singh, Mumbai police commissioner.

Reacting to reports of AIIMS having ruled out the possibility of murder, Singh said, “We had investigated this case very professionally. The CBI had created a panel of AIIMS doctors who have justified our investigation and the findings of Cooper hospital and forensic laboratory. Except for a few people, nobody else was aware of our investigation still many have criticized the investigation.”

Twitter India is also deleting accounts by the 1000's every hour. Arnab....the nation doesn't want to know...neither cares. You're speaking to Bots.

Let me accept their claim of 80,000 accounts. But how did they realise it was fake? Just because some of them came from Italy and other countries? So people from those countries (may be some Indians too), should not be heard of Sushanth and should not tweet? Also, what percentage of these posts which came from other countries (out of this 80,000)?

So this is what the the Mumbai Police are investigating about Sushanth's death. Great. How can people with no morality can be demoralised Mr. Param Bir Singh?

This is so true. I've checked the ppl who reply to my tweets related to ssr. most of them joined Twitter after his death.

Which investigation Mumbai Police did for SSR that summon every Bollywood person for tea and coffee without FIR, oh no they should get credit for that so tell us what is the time of death investigation officer should know this.

Seems unnecessary. There are clearly enough unemployed Indians to do it.

Gotta love the comments under this article/tweet. Its half/half now. Just a couple of weeks back, it used to be 2-3 people debating 100's of Warriors. Either people are finally waking up or Twitter India is finally doing its job, deleting all the fake accounts.

In other twitter news, the Warriors are self destructing with Vibhor Anand filing a case against Ujjwal Trivedi & Smita Parikh. Both have been enciting the mob with fake news but accuse each other of doing the same. 🤣
