Twitter official gets Supreme Court notice

New Delhi, October 22

The Supreme Court today issued notice to former Twitter India head Manish Maheshwari on a petition by the UP Police, challenging a Karnataka HC order giving him protection from arrest in a case relating to a viral video of an attack on an elderly man in Ghaziabad.

A Bench headed by Chief Justice of India NV Ramana asked Maheshwari to respond to the petition restraining them from taking coercive action against the Karnataka HC’s June 24 order directing the Ghaziabad Police not to take any coercive action against Maheshwari and to question him virtually only. — TNS
