Fake accounts aren’t easy to be identified these days because people who create such accounts take care to make them look authentic. Even Prime Minister Modi isn’t an exception to be hit by a fake account and being misused by users who went to share a fake shocking death news.
The fake Facebook page of the PM posted a picture of a car and a news report claiming Bollywood top actress Deepika Padukone died in a car accident. As the Facebook page looked authentic with the same profile image like that of PM’s official page, later many were shocked only to find out that it was a fake account.
Though the fake account was taken down after, the initial shock left people dazed how even a PM’s account was vulnerable to create fakes. Like many fake profiles, even Deepika Padukone’s story link opened to a different website. What is left to see is, if the culprit behind the fake FB page would be caught and punished soon.
