Centre asks Twitter to take down Manipur video under Section 69A

The Centre has asked Twitter and other social media platforms to take down the video of two Manipuri women being paraded naked by a mob.

In response to the government’s demand, some tweets that included the video have been withheld in India.

A senior government official said that social media companies had been asked to take down the video as it could further disrupt the law and order situation in the state.
