Manoj Tiwari files police complaint against fake Facebook account

BJP Lok Sabha MP Manoj Tiwari has filed a police complaint against a “fake” Facebook account that is using his name, alleging it was posting misleading and incorrect content to malign his image. Tiwari lodged the complaint at the Mandir Marg Cyber police station in New Delhi after a strong-worded criticism of the now-stayed UGC regulations was posted from the said Facebook ID using his photo.

The Northeast Delhi MP, who is also a popular Bhojpuri singer and actor, said in a post on X on Saturday that he had already complained against the “fake” ID, yet it was active.

“Some unknown person under a conspiracy is operating a fake Facebook ID in my name. My real Facebook ID has a blue tick. I lodged a police complaint on January 22, yet the fake ID is active, and the person operating it was not caught,” Tiwari said in his post, demanding that the police arrest the person.
