Why did Delhi Police investigate Twitter India’s office?
PRO Chinmay Biswal of Delhi Police said, ‘The Delhi Police team went to its offices to give notice to Twitter India as per the normal procedure. This was needed because they wanted to know who was the right person to give notice to because the reply from the MD of Twitter India was not quite accurate.

What is a toolkit case?
The latest controversy related to the toolkit is related to the allegation of BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra. A few days ago Sambit Patra accused Congress of using the toolkit to tarnish the image of the BJP and the country. However, Twitter later put the related Patra’s tweets in the category of ‘Manipulated Media’. On this matter, Delhi Police sent a notice to Twitter and asked for the answer that what is the basis and what information is behind putting such a label, Twitter should share it.
BJP raised questions on Congress
BJP has also raised questions on Congress along with Twitter. BJP leader Amit Malviya said, ‘If the Congress says this is not their document, then they should wait for the investigation. But he has lodged an FIR against 2 people. What does it mean she is nervous somewhere. The Congress will never succeed in silencing such BJP leaders.
