Curious case of @BJPInsider twitter account

About 24 hours back a twitter account @BJPInsider started sending tweets about BJP Leader M M Joshi. Most of tweets were slanderous in nature and intention of @BJPInsider  is very obvious.
Most of us would not have noticed this until Bhupendra Chaubey, CNN IBN, National Bureau Chief @bhupendrachaube tweeted about it 1 hour ago. Interestingly it was his first tweet of the day. 
Media Watch looked at the Timeline of @BJPInsider  and found that this twitter account has not send even a single tweet to @bhupendrachaube
We would like to understand from @bhupendrachaube
  1. Since @BJPInsider has not send even a single tweet to @bhupendrachaube,  how did he come to know about this account and its “slanderous allegations”. considering the fact the account was started this monday (07/03) and first tweet from this account was on 12:42 AM Mar 8th via web. Was it via a RT?
  2. @bjpinsider acct was created 2 days back and was mostly tweeting junk. Its first two followers were Bot. Guess who was the 1st proper follower after 2 bots. Is it just coincidence that it was @bhupendrachaube

As expected Bhupendra Chaubey was asked by fellow twitterati @ssudhirkumar
Leave aside all conspiracy theories. Doesn't basic courtesy suggest @bhupendrachaube you don't encourage slander of the likes of "insider"?
And Bhupendra Chaubey replied
@ssudhirkumar pl don't distort sudhir, I was infact questioning the credibility of these messages,
We leave it to readers decision if following tweet from Bhupen was questioning the credibility or not?
Some bizzare tweets coming from @bjpinsider. Pretty slanderous against senior bjp leader murli manohar joshi. What's happening?

Update 11/03/2011

@bhupendrachaube has unfollowed @bjpinsider

  1. CNN IBN too is in hot pursuit of its trade guru, NDTV. A thoroughly low trick - disgusting!

  2. seems there is a competition in MSM to deliver to the Queen. Everyone is vying to each other on slandering the opposition. Thx MSM you will fail in your duty with Queen. We will ensure that. Gr8 effort by @i_panchajanya & @centerofright for exposing these blokes.
    Jai Hind... Vande mataram..

  3. Bhupendra Chaube tried hard to convince tweeple that @bjpinsider is a BJP man. But he ended up convincing us more and more that it is probably him posing as a BJP insider. Lol.

  6. bhupendra chaubey might not be wrong. I for example dont follow bdutt. but ppl I follow do follow her.

    so sometime while clicking on their names, I see their timelines, where I also see @bdutt mentioned. then I click on @bdutt to see what the conversation is all about.

    So even without following, I can get to know what somebody else tweeted.

    I think the same thing also happened with bhupendra chaubey.
