New headache for Twitter as Bajrang Dal leader files FIR over distorted India map

Lucknow: A Hindu group has filed a police complaint against Twitter’s country head for showing a distorted India map on its website, kickstarting an investigation in a fresh headache for the US tech firm.

A map on Twitter’s careers page showed the Jammu & Kashmir region, which is claimed by both India and Pakistan, and the Buddhist enclave of Ladakh outside India. That provoked an outcry on social media this week that comes amid strained relations between Twitter and New Delhi over the firm’s compliance with India’s new IT rules.
