Second FIR against Twitter India MD in Uttar Pradesh; this time over distorted map of India

The Uttar Pradesh Police has lodged an FIR against two Twitter India officials – MD Manish Maheshwari and News Partnerships head Amrita Tripathi, over a distorted map of India shown on its website. The FIR was lodged in Khurja Nagar police station of Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr district based on a complaint filed by an office-bearer of right-wing outfit Bajrang Dal.

Bajrang Dal’s western UP convenor Praveen Bhati said in his complaint that the world map on the Twitter website does not show Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir as parts of India. He said that the act has hurt the sentiments of Indians.
