Twitter takes down Rahul Gandhi’s tweet that disclosed rape victim’s identity

Twitter has taken down Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s tweet that revealed the identity of the relatives of a minor who was raped and murdered. The tweet that showed a picture of Gandhi meeting the family members of minor girl showed as ‘no longer available’ on the microblogging website for violating its rules. A click on the tweet led to a message that read: “This tweet violated the Twitter rules.”

Posting a picture of his meeting with the minor’s family earlier on Wednesday, Gandhi had tweeted in Hindi: “Parents’ tears are saying only one thing — their daughter, the daughter of this country, deserves justice. And I am with them on this path to justice.”
