Delhi Police Raid Twitter Office in India After Social Media Giant Labels Tweet From Right-Wing Political Spox “Manipulated Media” (VIDEO)
The Delhi Police Special Cell raided offices of Twitter in Delhi and Gurgaon Monday night in connection with their “Toolkit” probe.
Police sent a letter to Twitter India on Sunday after the social media giant labeled BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra’s tweet as “manipulated media.”
The BJP party (right-wing) is one of the two major political parties in India.
“We want to know what information Twitter has about the toolkit and why they chose to give the ‘manipulated media’ label. Our team is conducting raids at their Delhi office in Mehrauli and their Gurgaon office on Golf Course Road,” said the officer.
The Indian Express reported:
Patra’s tweet was about a purported toolkit and was also posted by other BJP leaders.
