The Uttar Pradesh Police has summoned Twitter India Managing Director Manish Maheshwari for questioning an allegedly manipulated video of the assault of an elderly Muslim man in Ghaziabad.

The notice was issued two days after Twitter was “promoting enmity between religions” for posting and promoting the video amid clashing narratives of the attack. The video allegedly showed the man being beaten up and his attackers cutting his beard.

The 72-year-old man’s family said the attackers forced him to chant “Jai Shri Ram” and cut off his beard. The Uttar Pradesh Police has claimed there was no shared angle to the attack even as a Samajwadi Party leader said that the police on purpose left out the alleged communal slogan chanting from the First Information Report filed in the case.

Akhilesh Kumar Mishra, the investigating officer in the case, said the notice was issued to Maheshwari late on Thursday under the regular provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) and he has been asked to appear within seven days and record his statement. “The notice is served so that he appears to record statements under the CrPC’s Section 161,” he said.
