Twitter India :
The police went to twitter India's offices and handed a notice in person and the twit the visit was necessitated as the police wanted to ascertain who is the right person to serve at notice too visuals that have emerged show that special op cops were at the office of twitter and the office was presumably shut as most employees were working from home during the lockdown however the notice was handed over to one employee once again the Delhi police teams landed at the offices of twitter India this evening after serving a notice to the social media giant this is of course a developing story the Delhi police teams landed at the offices of twitter India handing over a notice to the Twitter giant to the social media giant all this because there is now a row over the ruling party leader and his tweet which was later marked as being manipulated media by twitter and the police then went to twitter India's offices across multiple locations to hand a notice in person now for a better understanding of the developments in the story joining us now is our principal diplomatic correspondent siddhants sybil on this broadcast saddam thanks so much for joining us now what can you tell us about this probe uh this is quite a big development as we know the delhi police searching twitter India's offices over the toolkit pro tell us more about this operation well it is already making international headlines so what happened in the evening we know that delhi police personnel were present at twitter India's headquarters here in the NCR region and later on there was a press statement saying that this was a routine la routine like meeting a process in which delhi police personnel had gone to the headquarters to serve notice in the backdrop of the toolkit controversy where we have seen that how a ruling a member of the ruling party.
