Nach Baliye, Indian Celebrity Dance competition, sullied by accusations of SMS vote rigging

Link: Nach Baliye couple in SMS scam- The Times of India

This is an interesting conundrum…

Small screen stars Shweta Kwatra and Manav Gohil are being investigated for purchasing 200 pre-paid SIM cards and distributing them among their friends so that they vote for the couple in the popular Nach Baliye reality dance show, the police said

Surely 200 friends texting in couldn’t really do that much in the way of damage to your competitors if the TV show’s getting hundreds of thousands, if not a few million votes?

Who knows?
