Bilal Maqsood, one-half of the popular music band Strings, expressed concern about how the fake posts put Anwar Maqsood’s life at risk by sharing screenshots of the posts made in his father’s name.
“These kinds of fake tweets only put my Abbu’s life in danger,” he stated. “This guy has already blocked me. Please can you all report this account. Abbu does not post anything on social media. His actual account has solely three posts. We made that account so we can report all the fake ones.”

It’s truly disheartening to see some people put others lives in danger for the sake of likes, retweets, and followers. Let’s put a 🛑 to it by blocking these individuals and unfollowing them.
