Twitter India head Manish Maheshwari was interrogated by the Delhi Police on May 31 in connection with an alleged “Congress toolkit” against the central government. As per the ANI reports, no details of the interrogation session hasn’t provided yet. The development comes as the latest in a series of charges that the central government has raised against Twitter India over the concurrence of information technology laws in the country.
Previously, Twitter tagged some posts on an alleged Congress “toolkit” against the central government as “manipulated media”, to which the Union ministry of electronics and information technology objected. Delhi Police sent a notice to Twitter asking for an explanation of the rationale and share all the information on how it described the toolkit as manipulated media. They also visited Twitter India Office in Lado Sarai, Delhi along with the notice on May 24. The central government has reasoned that since the case is still pending probe before a law enforcement agency, Twitter has to remove the “manipulated media” tag.
