Mumbai police to hunt down social media trolls maligning cops over Sushant Singh Rajput case

In what could snowball into a major issue, the Mumbai Police is on a hot chase of people and groups who have targeted them and top officials in the wake of the Sushant Singh Rajput case.

According to reports, over 80,000 fake accounts were created on various social media platforms including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram across countries and continents.

As part of the campaign, Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh, who is an officer of the rank of Director General of Police, had also been targeted over the last three months.

“Several social media account holders are trolling the Mumbai Police commissioner on different platforms like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook and are using abusive language against him and the force,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Cyber) Rashmi Karandikar said.
