In social media sites, it is easy to create a fake account on anyone’s name. Especially, when a celebrity has no official account. These accounts can be used to defame the person or spread fake news. The legend Sachin Tendulkar mentioned on Twitter that the account name which posted wrongful content under his son’s name is fake.
The Master Blaster clarified that his children, Arjun and Sara, has no account on the microblogging site. He also requested twitter India to take action on the same.
“I wish to clarify that my son Arjun & daughter Sara are not on Twitter,” Tendulkar wrote on Twitter. The account @jr_tendulkar is wrongfully impersonating Arjun and posting malicious tweets against personalities & institutions. Requesting @TwitterIndia to act on this as soon as possible,” Sachin Tendulkar said.
