The Delhi High Court objected to journalist Rana Ayyub’s tweets posted between 2013 and 2017 on Hindu deities and Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. The court described the tweets as “highly derogatory, inflammatory and communal,” and asked the Delhi Police and X Corp. to take necessary action, according to the Bar & Bench, which reported the court hearing first.
