According
to
reports,
the
Mumbai
Police
has
found
out
that
Deepika
Padukone
and
Priyanka
Chopra
are
among
the
top
10
celebrities
that
have
fake
followers
on
social
media,
based
on
various
studies
done
by
well-known
organisations.
As
per
the
police,
the
two
actresses
and
174
other
personalities
will
be
questioned
on
the
basis

studies.
A
report
published

Times
Now
revealed
that
last
week,
the
Mumbai
Police
arrested
a
man
who
had
made
a
fake
profile
of
Bollywood
playback
singer
Bhoomi
Trivedi.
He
claimed
that
he
manages
her
social
media
account,
and
also
reached
out
to
many
Bollywood
personalities
under
the
pretence
that
he
can
help
them
increase
their
followers
on
social
media.
Bhoomi
Trivedi
recently
filed
a
complaint
after
finding
out
about
her
fake
profile
from
a
choreographer,
who
fell
for
the
trap
and
had
paid
the
accused.
On
realising
it
is
a
big
scam,
the
Mumbai
cops
formed
a
special
team
called
SIT
with
members
from
the
Cyber
Cell
and
Crime
Branch
to
investigate
the
matter.
The
SIT
is
reportedly
headed
by
DCP
Nandkumar
Thakur
and
the
case
is
looked
after
by
CIO
Sachin
Vaze.
Reprots
say
the
SIT
has
recorded
that
there
are
about
100
companies
selling
fake
social
media
followers
and
have
also
identified
68
companies
that
provide
other
services
like
fake
retweets,
likes,
view,
subscriptions,
comments,
etc.
Priyanka

completed
20
years
in

industry
