As per news report of The Indian Express, mails sent to Manjul, Singh or Zubair do not mention the details of the law enforcement agency that had raised the legal request asking Twitter to take action against the said account. Industry sources, however, said that all such requests made to Twitter are always routed through the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). Ministry officials denied any involvement in notices sent either to Manjul, Singh or Zubair.
