On wednesday, Microblogging site Twitter, informed the Delhi High Court that it has removed an offending tweet posted by Congres leader Rahul Gandhi sharing a picture of himself with the parents of 9-year-old alleged rape and murder victim in the capital.
Twitter further said the account of Mr. Gandhi has also been blocked as his August 5 tweet was in breach of its policy.
Following Twitter’s submission, a bench of Chief Justice D.N. Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh posted the hearing on the petition seeking initiation of legal action against Mr. Gandhi for September 27.
During the brief hearing, the bench got miffed at the advocate, appearing for the petitioner Makarand Suresh Mhadlekar, who disputed the submission made by Twitter’s counsel before the court.
