The Delhi Police on Wednesday wrote to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) in connection with a complaint alleging that “derogatory, malicious and defamatory content” targeting constitutional authorities was being circulated on the platform during the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP)-led protests.

 

In its communication, the police asked X to immediately remove the alleged posts or videos and sought complete account details of the users who uploaded the content, including their names, addresses, contact information, email IDs, and login/logout records with date and time stamps.

 

The police also requested the platform to preserve all data related to the alleged content for future investigation, share any additional information that could aid the probe, and furnish a certificate under Section 63(4) of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA).
