The government has issued three notices to the internet media platform regarding Twitter accounts that surfaced during the ongoing farmer protest against agricultural laws. Through this notices, Twitter has been asked to close the account which gives ‘bad’ or provocative and false information about the performance, but the company has neither closed any accounts nor removed the inflammatory tweets from its platform. It is being said on behalf of the company that it wants to negotiate with the government.

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has also submitted a list of bad accounts to Twitter along with the notice. Twitter was first given 257 links and asked to block them. Then on February 4, he was given a list of 1,178 accounts by the government and asked to remove them from his platform. The government says that these accounts are either supported by Pakistan or run by Khalistan supporters. Through them, efforts are being made to create instability in the name of opposition to agricultural laws in India.

Twitter also blocked some of these accounts for some time last month. But they were turned on. Not only this, but Twitter CEO Jack Dorsi also liked some of the tweets that protested. Twitter is calling it freedom of expression.

Now the government clearly says that if action is not taken by Twitter, then strict steps will be taken against it under the IT Act. According to Pawan Duggal, a well-known expert in cyberlaw, companies like Twitter are offering their services in India, so they have to follow the applicable law here. If Twitter does not follow the government’s instructions then the government has the right to take punitive action against it. In this, the government can also block or suspend its app and website.

Meanwhile, a Twitter spokesperson in India said the company wanted to talk to India’s technology minister. The company has also approached the minister for formal talks. The spokesman on Monday admitted for the first time that he had received a notice from the government. The spokesperson also said that immediate action was taken after reviewing the government’s report. The company said that the free exchange of information has a positive impact globally, so tweets should continue.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
