Manish Maheshwari has been asked to visit Loni Border police station & record statement within seven days. The notice was sent in connection of a video involving assault of an elderly Muslim man in Ghaziabad’s Loni. UP cops have accused Twitter India of allowing the controversial video to go viral. “Some people used their Twitter handle as a tool to spread hatred in the society. Twitter Communication India & Twitter Inc did not take any action against it. They let the anti-social messages go viral,” the notice said.
