After dispatching a couple of notices to Twitter India MD Manish Maheshwari, Ghaziabad police have sent a third notice – this time to the microblogging site’s former grievance officer in India Dharmendra Chatur – over circulation of videos in which a 72-year-old man assaulted on June 5 alleged it was a hate crime. Twitter India, a news portal and six individuals were booked in an FIR filed on June 15 over the sharing of what police claim was an “unverified” video. Police ruled out a hate crime, saying they had evidence to show that the victim, Abdul Samad and the main accused in the assault, Pravesh Gujjar, had known each other and Pravesh had a personal grudge.
