Bajrang Dal leader lodges complaint, saying his feelings were hurt
An FIR has been lodged against the managing director of Twitter India Manish Maheshwari and his colleague in Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr for allegedly showing a distorted map of India on their website.
The case was lodged on a complaint from a Bajrang Dal leader, who alleged that in a world map on Twitter, Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh were shown as entities separate from India.
