Twitter interim grievance officer for India quits just weeks after appointment

NEW DELHI: Twitter’s interim resident grievance officer for India, who was appointed earlier this month, has stepped down, reported news agency PTI quoting sources.

Dharmendra Chatur was recently appointed as the interim resident grievance officer for India by the microblogging platform under the new digital rules that came into force.

A number of incidents recently have seen the microblogging site come face-to-face with the Indian government, some of them being the delay in conforming to the new IT rules, marking a BJP leader’s tweet as manipulated media, and removing the blue tick from some handles.

Another flashpoint between the two emerged when the IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad a few days ago alleged Twitter blocked his account for some time.
