As per news report of The Indian Express, the submission was made in response to a petition seeking legal action including registration of an FIR against Gandhi for posting the photograph. Senior Advocate Sajan Poovayya, representing Twitter, told the court that the tweet has already been deleted since it was in violation of the micro-blogging site’s policy. Poovayya also told the court that Gandhi’s account has also been locked.
