The Madhya Pradesh police have been approached by a person named Shrikant Sharma to initiate action against the Managing Director of Twitter India for suspending popular twitter handle TrueIndology.

Sharma further stated, “The Twitter handle was shut by Twitter India MD Manish Maheshwari after the social media platform termed the Diwali-related content posted there as false.”

TrueIndology was involved in a debate IPS officer and Inspector-general of police Home Secretary in Karnataka D Roopa, following which he was suspended by Twitter.
