A report published in 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 Chopra recently completed 20 years in the entertainment industry and enjoys a following of 55.2 million followers on Instagram and 26.3 million followers on Twitter., while Deepika Padukone has 50.8 million followers on Instagram and she is followed by 27.6 million users on Twitter.
