Comedian and mimicry artist ‘Robo’ Sankar on Tuesday complained of his name being misused on social media through a fake Twitter account.

He said the account was being used to create and spread posts with defamatory content against politicians and journalists.

Mr. Sankar lodged a complaint with the police Commissioner, alleging that miscreants were deliberately indulging in a libellous campaign in order to malign him and damage his popularity.
