The Ghaziabad Police has sent a legal notice to Twitter India's Managing Editor for "provoking communal unrest" in connection with social media posts about an attack on an elderly Muslim man in Ghaziabad on June 5

The MD has been asked to come to the Loni Border police station and record the statement within seven days.

The Uttar Pradesh Police has filed the FIR against Twitter Inc, Twitter Communications India, news portal The Wire, scribes Mohammed Zubair and Rana Ayyub, and senior journalist and author Saba Naqvi, besides Congress leaders Salman Nizami, Masqoor Usmani and Sama Mohammad for sharing the video clip on the social media.
