Two top Bollywood actors are being questioned for paying top dollar for social media followers

The inquiry has revealed that 10 celebrities are among the people who enhanced their social media performance by paying dollars for fake tweets, Facebook likes, comments, etc.
The Crime intelligence unit (CIU) of Mumbai Crime Branch started the investigation when Bollywood playback singer Bhumi Trivedi filed an account theft complaint on July 11. A police officer, privy to the investigation, said the inquiry led them to a list of 10 celebrities who have used the services of one such company.
