The Mumbai police on Tuesday said that Twitter accounts operated from foreign countries, some of them run by "bots", were used to spread slanderous posts against the Maharashtra government and Mumbai police after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
A team of cyber and forensic experts submitted the report to the Mumbai Police. The report was generated using Artificial intelligence and Machine Learning for the analysis of Twitter hashtags and related accounts, which were created or surfaced recently (June 2020- October 2020).
