It's even more obvious on the "lite" version of their app. Within the last month (probably even more recently), the total number of installs nearly doubled, and the rating dropped from a reasonably stable 4.0 to 1.1. https://www.androidrank.org/application/tiktok_lite/com.zhiliaoapp.musically.go https://www.androidrank.org/application/tiktok_lite/com.zhil... (Amusingly, the ratings of the other TikTok app, which looks like it might not be available in India, are unaffected: https://www.androidrank.org/application/tiktok/com.ss.android.ugc.trill https://www.androidrank.org/application/tiktok/com.ss.androi...) I have a very hard time believing that this represents organic user behavior. It seems far more likely that someone's scripted the process of installing and rating the apps.
