Bengaluru: A day after Newskarnataka.com reported on the fake twitter account opened in the name of Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, the city cyber police have been registered a case after officials of the Chief Minister’s Officer lodged a complaint.
On Monday Newskarnataka had reported that CM Siddu’s ‘pro BJP’ Tweets give his followers the creeps. According to the sources in the CMO, official twitter account of the Chief Minister of Karnataka is https://twitter.com/CMofKarnataka. But, since last 15 days some unknown person created a duplicate twitter account in the name of https://twitter.com/CmofKarnataka. Even though the official twitter account of the Chief Minister was verified by the twitter itself, a duplicate account was allowed with just a small change in the username.
According to the sources, this fake page would have opened in any of the neighboring countries to avoid any legal action. “Cyber police have stated tracking the IP address from which computer this account was operated. But by all possibility it was operated from any of the foreign countries. But we will track them,” said sources.
