A case was registered by Delhi police against an unknown person who had created a fake Twitter account. Twitter had suspended the fake account after police wrote to the social networking site that an unknown person had created and using the fake account to harm the reputation of the police commissioner. The source said that the Delhi police had recently formed a social media cell to keep watch on social networking sites. The source said, “The police team while checking Twitter found an account with the name of Alok Verma. The account holder had been using Alok Verma as the display name. He had also put up a photograph of current Delhi police commissioner Alok Verma, that too in police uniform. His Twitter handle @AlokvermaCPDP also revealed that he was intentionally misleading other account holders”. The verified Twitter account of the Delhi police commissioner is @CPDelhi. The social media cell cross-checked with the commissioner’s office about the suspicious account. After the inquiry, the police team came to know that someone was impersonating as police commissioner Alok Verma. “The content of the tweets and re-tweets made by the accused were of such nature that it was reflecting a bad picture for Delhi police department. His tweets and re-tweets were causing damage and harm to the image and reputation of the police commissioner and to entire police department. The innocent public and some political leaders were being misled by the accused who had created this account,” the source said. The matter was also brought to the notice of Mr Verma, who was surprised that someone was damaging his image on Twitter account. The account has been suspended. Delhi police are hopeful of arresting the miscreant soon.]]>
