Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar requested micro-blogging site Twitter to pull down fake handles running in the name of his children Sara and Arjun.
In a two-part post on Monday, the batting icon referred to a tweet he had sent out in 2014, stating that his children do not have Twitter handles.
“I reiterate the fact that my children Arjun & Sara are not on twitter. We request @Twitter to remove all such accounts at the earliest (1/2),” he posted.
“Impersonation wreaks havoc, creates misunderstanding & traumatises us. I appeal to the platforms to take corrective measures immediately 2/2,” he wrote in a following post.
Sachin’s first-born Sara is known be glamourous but rarely makes social appearances, while Arjun is a budding cricketer who recently broke into the Mumbai Under-19 squad.
