\n\nAlmost a week after social media platform X (formerly Twitter) flagged an “imposter” for sending it requests to take down the accounts of the Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) and the Software Freedom Law Centre (SFLC), India, the Delhi Police registered a criminal case in connection with the matter on Tuesday, November 10.
\n\nX had informed the Delhi High Court about the “imposter” on Friday, November 06, stating that the requests to block the two accounts and their posts had not come from the Delhi Police.
\n\nThe platform further informed the Delhi High Court that it had filed a complaint with the police.
\n\nX's counsel made the statement before Justice Amit Mahajan, who was hearing petitions filed by the two organisations on the issue.
\n\nThe counsel said a complaint has been made to the Delhi Police and no action has been taken against the petitioners.
\n\n“We did not act on it. Notices are not sent by the Delhi Police. We have filed a complaint with the Delhi Police last night to find the imposter,” the lawyer for X submitted, as per PTI.
