Delhi Police raided
Significantly, the team of Special Cell of Delhi Police raided the offices of Twitter India in Delhi and Gurugram on Monday evening in connection with the investigation of the alleged ‘Covid Toolkit’ case. A senior police official said that the special cell sent a notice to Twitter over a complaint related to the alleged ‘Covid-19 toolkit’ and sought an explanation from the micro-blogging site for tweeting BJP leader Sambit Patra’s tweet as ‘tampered’.

Last week, Twitter had described Patra’s tweet related to the ‘toolkit’ as ‘tampered’. The BJP alleges that the Congress, by creating a toolkit, described the new form of Coronavirus as ‘Indian form’ or ‘Modi form’ and tried to tarnish the image of the country and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. However, Congress rejected the allegations, claiming that the BJP was resorting to fake ‘toolkits’ to discredit it. Congress has also filed a case of ‘forgery’ in the police against several senior BJP leaders.
