On Monday, two Delhi Police teams visited the Twitter India office to serve the notice which is connected with the probe into the alleged 'Congress toolkit' matter. The Delhi police special cell teams stated that It is a casual or routine visit on the twitter office.

The Delhi Police visits came after the hours when special cell issued a notice to Twitter demanding an explanation over the statement of one of spokesperson person of BJP Sandeep Patra in his tweet on 21st May.

Sandeep Patra tweeted on the alleged congress “toolkit” which BJP Claims is designed to target Modi’s Government. Twitter had tagged Patra's tweet as 'manipulated media' following a complaint filed by the Congress party against BJPs toolkit allegation.

Delhi Police sent a Twitter notice and asked them that on what basis Twitter decided to add a ‘manipulated media’ tag to the tweets. Twitter MD Manish Maheshwari also informed to be present when the special cell teams visited their Indian office. Manish Maheshwari said he is the sales head of Twitter Communication India Private Ltd. But his verified Twitter account saying that he is MD of Twitter.

Ministry sources had said, “In its communication to Twitter, the Ministry has stated that a complaint has already been made by one of the concerned parties before local law enforcement agency questioning the veracity of the toolkit and the same is under investigation.” Sources said that Twitter has taken an arbitrary and unilateral decision regarding the matter. Even earlier Indian Government raised objections to label the tweets.
