Twitter India Managing Director Manish Maheshwari has been booked by the Uttar Pradesh Police in connection with a case over a distorted map of India on the micro-blogging platform.

The FIR was lodged at the Khurja Nagar police station in Bulandshahr district on Monday evening on the basis of a complaint by an office-bearer of right wing Bajrang Dal.

Along with Twitter India MD Manish Maheshwari, the FIR names News Partnerships Head Amrita Tripathi as accused who have been booked under Indian Penal Code section 505 (2) (public mischief).

Meanwhile, former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh, who is alleged in a money laundering case, has been summoned by Enforcement Directorate (ED) again. This development comes after Deshmukh on Saturday refused to appear before the ED last week.
