Delhi cops showed up in Bengaluru, quizzed Twitter MD for 2 hrs in Congress ‘toolkit’ case

A team of the Delhi Police Special Cell visited Bengaluru on May 31 to question Twitter India managing director Manish Maheshwari in connection with posts by BJP leaders alleging a “Congress toolkit” plot, which had led the Congress to lodge a complaint of “forgery”.

Police had earlier visited Twitter India’s office in New Delhi, and summoned the Congress’s social media head Rohan Gupta and party spokesperson M V Rajeev Gowda, who filed the complaint.

BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra, whose tweet was among those flagged by Twitter as “manipulated”, is yet to be summoned for questioning.
