The bold journalist Sweta Singh hails from Patna Bihar and is a journalist.
Recently, there was some issue concerning her Twitter account.
Someone created a fake Twitter account in her name and on it posted support for the Prime Minister of India.
This probably was a wrong tactic which is common for BJP political party.

The fake propaganda for Indian PM

On the Facebook page called Modi Mania in which the owner of the account published a post on 21 March 2018. It shows a tweet in Hindi supposedly written by Sweta Singh who is a newsreader and executive editor for Aaj Tak.

The tweet translated into English means:

“Every government has limitations, but looking at the hate for Narendra Modi by anti-national forces, we are even more determined to stand by Modi ji. Long Live India.”

The Twitter handle which put up the tweet is @TheSwetaSinghAT. But the real and verified Twitter handle of Sweta Singh is @SwetaSinghAT. The pictures used in the account are also different.

This obviously is a wrong tactic used by some staunch followers of the BJP leader. Twitter officials have suspended this fake account.

The same false message had been posted on multiple other social media platforms and in those, there is no mention of Sweta Singh. None of the posts of Sweta Singh bear any similarity to the fake post.

Sweta Singh mentions the fake account

Sweta Singh has time and again talked about the fake accounts made in her name. On 17 February 2017, she tweeted:

“fake account. I’m not on fb yet”.

On 24 May 2018, @RaziullahRayeen wrote:

“Aunty, paid media technique generated by you.
In future students will read it.”

It was tagged to the real Sweta who then corrected:

“You tag the correct id and blame it for a tweet by a fake one? How am I responsible? At least learn about ‘verified’ handles before learning how to troll.”

There is another fake account in her name which is put as ‘Shweta Singh’ and carries her photo. The Twitter account name is put as @IShwetaSinghAt. It has 1.7k followers. It is a pro-BJP and anti-opposition account.
