Dona Ganguly who is a noted Odissi dancer informed that she got to know about the fake Facebook page from one of her students, following which she approached the police.


"Yes, a page using my name and Dada's (Sourav) photos has been created on Facebook. I was informed by one of my students about this. We have lodged a complaint with the police," she told news agency PTI.


"I should not have minded if they had used mine or Dada's photos but at times people start posting remarks which others start thinking as ours, creating confusion which I don't want to happen. Hopefully, police will help me close this fake account," she added.


Dona Ganguly also stated that while her original Facebook account has only a few followers, the fake one has already attracted over 70,000 people.


Meanwhile, Lalbazar Cyber Crime department has removed the fake Facebook page.
