BBC News’ Punjabi Twitter account blocked in operation to nab Amritpal

As the operation to nab Amritpal Singh entered the 10th day on Tuesday, British broadcaster BBC News’ Punjabi language Twitter account was blocked.

Visitors to @bbcnewspunjabi were met with a gray screen and the message: ‘…account has been withheld in India in response to a legal demand’.

Reports indicate that over 100 Twitter handles and multiple YouTube channels have been blocked as Punjab and the centre hunt down Amritpal Singh. The operation to capture the ‘Waris Punjab De’ chief was launched March 18.
