Cops probing toolkit visit offices of Twitter

Delhi Police officers on Monday visited the offices of Twitter and later said they have sought a clarification about a tweet by BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra that the microblogging site had tagged as “manipulated media”.

A special cell police team visited Twitter’s offices in Delhi and Gurugram to secure the participation of Twitter’s managing director Manish Maheshwari in the probe.

“The person (Maheshwari) who had to join investigation said he is not the concerned person. He sent a reply to the DCP of special cell that he was part of Twitter India and not Twitter Inc. Any tagging to that concerned tweet was done by Twitter Inc.
