The central government is likely to take action against the micro-blogging site, Twitter over the video of the horrific Manipur incident that happened months back, where two women paraded naked by a group of men. The video went viral on Wednesday, triggering waves of outrage.
The Centre is likely to act against Twitter over the widespread circulation of the video that ‘could lead to problems in law and order,’ which are not permitted under law, said the media reports.
An order has been issued last night, initiating action against Twitter for non-compliance, said reports, adding that the IT ministry is working across platforms to ensure that the video wasn’t circulated further.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has finally spoken about this inhumane act during a media address at the Parliament today. He said ‘No guilty will be spared.’
