Delhi Police says Twitter refusing to cooperate, share evidence in ‘toolkit’ case

After Twitter called the police’s visit to its office a form of ‘intimidation’, the Delhi Police issued a statement on Thursday alleging that the social network company was refusing to cooperate and share evidence with the investigating authority in the ‘toolkit’ case.

The Delhi Police on Thursday issued an official statement in response to Twitter Inc.’s allegation that the police’s visit to its office on Tuesday was a form of ‘intimidation’. In a strongly-worded statement, the police said that Twitter was refusing to cooperate and share evidence with the investigating authority in the ‘toolkit’ case. Twitter is deeply committed to the people of India. Our service has proven vital for the public conversation and a source of support for people during the pandemic. https://t.co/9oDbVM6IjMTo keep our service available, we will strive to comply with applicable law in India. The police alleged that Twitter’s public statements were “mendacious” and “designed to impede a lawful inquiry”. “Twitter's Inc.’s latest statements are devised to seek dubious sympathy when they themselves not only refuse to comply with the law of the land but also claim to be in possession of material evidence but refuse to share it with legal authority duly recognized,” the police’s official statement read.
