‘Inadvertent error’: Twitter after HM Amit Shah’s account was locked

Twitter on Friday cleared the air around Union Home Minister Amit Shah's account being locked. Twitter said Shah's account was temporarily locked due to an 'inadvertent error'. The microblogging site added that the decision was reversed immediately. On Thursday, the home minister's display picture was removed by Twitter. Shah's display photo was reportedly removed in response to 'report from copyright holder'. Clicking on Shah's picture showed a blank page with the message, 'Media not displayed'. The image was restored after a while and there were no other details available from Twitter. The union home minister has 23.6 million followers on Twitter.
