There is a debate on social media on conversion or homecoming. People keep posting about it. Internet too is fulfilled with this conversion game. It is done by a person not in the greed of money or property but in the greed of likes, comments, and followers. In this game, it is not changed from the original religion or faith, but only by the change in name. If a user’s name on Twitter a year ago was Salim, then the same user is Suresh at present. At the same time, two years ago, if a user used to tweet by the name Ramesh, then he is currently posting under the name Rameez. There are many users who have become direct MLA from a common man and are being followed by big politicians and ministers. All this game is being played by the username change. In this exclusive story of DFRAC today, we are providing you with an analysis of some of the accounts with the same name change, which was earlier named after another religion, but now has become of another religion.

A big interesting tweet has been posted with the username Ravish Kumar. A tweet read: “Vikas Gupta, who has posted provocative posts on social media as Raj Khan, has been arrested by Varanasi Police.

Conclusion:
One should be careful of opinions given by social media accounts. Many people create fake profiles and handles to spread fake news and misguided opinions. Don’t fall into such traps and follow only such accounts which are legit and authentic. In this DFRAC Exclusive analysis we have analyzed the accounts of all these IDs, it has come to light that all of these users keep on changing their usernames and religion to gain followers, likes or for any propaganda on Twitter.
Later these accounts either sell it to the buyer or just change their username to follow another agenda. DFRAC will keep on exposing such fake and deceiving accounts to spread awareness.
