Sushant Singh Death Case : More Than 80 Thousand Fake Accounts Created To Defame Mumbai Police

Mumbai : After the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput on June 14, more than 80,000 fake social media accounts were created on different forums to defame the ongoing Mumbai Police investigation and the Maharashtra government.

The Cyber Cell Unit of Mumbai Police has made a report, in which it found that the posts were posted on social media forums from different countries of the world like Italy, Japan, Poland, Slovenia, Indonesia, Turkey, Thailand, Romania and France.

The senior IPS officer said- “We have identified posts in foreign language as it hashtags – #justiceforsushant #sushantsinghrajput and #SSR have been used. We are in the process of validating more accounts.”

Mumbai Police Commissioner Parambir Singh said, “This campaign was run to lower our morale at a time when 84 policemen were killed due to coronavirus and more than 6 thousand corona were infected. Campaign was deliberately run to spoil both the image and investigation of the Mumbai Police. Our cyber cells are conducting a detailed investigation into the matter and who are found guilty of violation of law, we will take strict action under the necessary sections of the Information Technology Act.”
