NEW DELHI: Twitter India managing director Manish Maheshwari on Tuesday agreed to appear in person before the Uttar Pradesh police, if they guarantee no arrest.
Maheshwari was recently summoned by Ghaziabad police in UP in a probe into an objectionable video posted in connection with an assault on an elderly Muslim man.
During the previous hearing, a single bench of Justice G Narender had passed an interim order restraining UP police from taking coercive action against him.
The order was then challenged in Supreme Court by the UP Police.
The social media giant is already mired in a row with the central government over not following the new IT rules.
Earlier in the day, the Delhi high court also expressed its displeasure over Twitter delaying the appointment of grievance redressal officer.
India's new IT rules which became effective end-May are aimed at regulating content on social media firms and making them more accountable to legal requests for swift removal of posts and sharing details on the originators of messages.
