In a sting operation conducted by Cobrapost, it was exposed that more than 30 Bollywood stars were involved in a scam that involved bribes to promote political parties through their social media posts and online promotions. The Operation was called Operation Karaoke and members of Cobrapost acted as PROs.



Party representatives and mediators and met the actors, and met to seal a deal with the stars to promote their party agenda and campaign online for them ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. The celebs who were mostly second level stars and TV actors wanted the content to be posted sent to them prior, and mostly the party involved was BJP, followed by AAP and Congress.



While several of them shared even their bank details and PAN, they were mostly insisting on cash dealings. The prices quoted ranged from 2 lakhs to 50 lakhs and even several crores.
