New Delhi, April 30, 2023 (PPI-OT):Indian broadcaster New Delhi Television (NDTV) and the Asian News International (ANI) news agency both said their main Twitter accounts had been locked, without specifying a reason for the suspensions.
Searches on Twitter for NDTV’s English service account @NDTV and the @ANI handle both produced the message “This account doesn’t exist. Try searching for another.” Their other accounts appeared to be functional.
ANI editor Smita Prakash tweeted a screenshot of the news agency’s handle being locked, with the message from Twitter stating the account “did not meet the age requirements” to be on the platform and would be removed. NDTV’s other account @ndtvindia tweeted their main handle had been blocked, tagging Twitter CEO Elon Musk’s official handle, asking for the suspended account to be restored.
