Since Indian bowler, Mohammed Shami, was abused on social media after India’s loss to Pakistan in the T20 World Cup, there has been an organised effort to blame anonymous Pakistani accounts for targeting Shami. Indian cricket team caption Virat Kohli came out in support of Shami and condemned those who attacked him over his faith. A now-deleted Twitter handle ‘Amena @criccrazygirl’ posted a tweet where the user threatened to rape Kohli’s daughter. It has been claimed that @criccrazygirl was a Pakistani bot account.
But It Is Supposedly An Indian Account
Alt News first searched for archived links of tweets by @criccrazyygirl to find the unique Twitter ID of the account. When they found a tweet on Wayback Machine, they viewed the source code of the page and found that its unique Twitter id is ‘1386685474182369290’. Twitter’s policy allows a user to change their username, however, the numeric ID or the unique ID remains constant despite a change in the username as it is unique to that account.
They then looked for replies to @criccrazyygirl on Twitter and discovered some tweets that redirected to @ramanheist. This means both accounts were the same but the username was changed. They found archived links of tweets where @ramanheist is talking about trading on NIFTY which is an Indian stock market index. He also shared an email by Zerodha, which is an Indian financial services company. This suggests that the person behind the account hails from India.
It is noteworthy that from its most recent username @criccrazyygirl, the account had retweeted tweets in Telugu which also hints it is an Indian account. This shows to what extent the cheapness of Indian fans can extend just for losing a game or extending support to their teammates. this shout stol and the one behind this shameful act should be caught as early as possible.
