Twitter India MD issued 2nd notice over Ghaziabad assault video case, asked to appear on June 24

The Ghaizabad Police squarely held the MD responsible for the circulation of the communally provocative video, in which an elderly Muslim man of Bulandshahr was seen crying on June 14, accusing four youths of beating him up, chopping his beard and asking him to chant 'Jai Shri Ram'.

Ghaziabad: The Ghaziabad police on Monday (June 21, 2021) warned the Twitter India managing director that his failure to report to it and join its investigation on June 24 in the case of the circulation of a communally sensitive video on its platform would amount to a hindrance in its probe, entailing legal consequences. In a second notice sent to Twitter India MD Manish Maheshwari, Ghaziabad Senior Superintendent of Police Amit Pathak warned him that his failure may result in his prosecution for hindering the probe. The new notice to the Twitter India MD was sent late Monday evening after Maheshwari offered to join the investigation through video conference, a senior police officer said.
