His response came after legal notice was sent to him by the police over posts linked to the assault of a Muslim man in Ghaziabad.
Twitter’s India head has told the Uttar Pradesh police that he is available for questioning on video call. His response came after legal notice was sent to him by the police over posts linked to the assault of a Muslim man in Ghaziabad and the micro-blogging site’s alleged inaction in taking such posts down.
Manish Maheshwari, Managing Director of Twitter in India, was last week asked to report to a police station at Loni Border near Delhi and record his statement within seven days.
Mr Maheshwari, replying to the notice, said he “does not deal with the case directly”.
However, as per sources, the Ghaziabad police is not satisfied with the reply.
Sources added that Twitter may get a second notice from the Uttar Pradesh police in the case.
