Ghaziabad Police asks Twitter India MD to report to police station within 7 days

Ghaziabad Police has sent a written summon to the Twitter India Managing Director and asked him to appear to record his statement at Loni police station within seven days. This comes after Ghaziabad Police booked certain journalists, Congress leaders, Twitter Inc and Twitter Communications India Pvt over tweets in connection with a video of an elderly Muslim man being allegedly assaulted.

The man, Abdul Samad Saifi, had alleged that the accused offered him an auto ride, took him to an isolated spot and beat him up, forcing him to chant Jai Shri Ram. However, police said the accused beat him up because he had sold them a “tabeez (amulet)” that they believed did not work.
