24 'X' accounts receives Mumbai police notice to remove documentary: A practical reader guide

The controversial documentary accuses Prime Minister Narendra Modi and industrialist Gautam Adani of corruption, collusion, and corporate cronyism. It gained attention after the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting issued takedown directives to platforms such as YouTube and Meta following court orders.

The notice issued by the Mumbai police stated that the West Cyber police, Crime Branch and CID received a complaint alleging that multiple X accounts published and disseminated highly objectionable content targeting a well-known company. This content allegedly lacked any apparent factual or lawful basis, causing serious and continuing harm to the company’s reputation. Mumbai police requested X to urgently review the objectionable tweets posted through multiple handles and take appropriate action to remove or disable access to the content in accordance with applicable law and the platform’s policies.
