Twitter says IT Minister RS Prasad account was briefly locked due to valid DMCA notice

Twitter India says that Ravi Shankar Prasad's account was temporarily restricted due to a DMCA notice only.

Twitter India has finally responded to why Ravi Shankar Prasad, Law and Justice, Communications, Electronics and Information Technology Minister of India, was denied access to his account for almost an hour on Friday. Prasad, in a series of tweets as well as on Koo, a desi alternative to Twitter, talked about the event and how Twitter didn't allow him access to his account on the grounds of violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of the USA and subsequently they allowed him to access the account. Twitter India finally responded to the controversy and admitted that account access was temporarily restricted due to a DMCA notice. The micro-blogging platform further added that the tweet had been withheld.
