Twitter has restricted 50 tweets in connection with the alleged assault of an elderly Muslim man in Ghaziabad's Loni.
A Twitter official told The Indian Express, access to tweets pertaining to the video showing the alleged assault of Abdul Samad Saifi and his beard being cut off have been withheld.
In a Facebook live later, Saifi alleged that the accused had offered him an auto ride, taken him to an isolated spot and beaten him up, forcing him to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’.
However, police said the accused beat him up because he had sold them a ‘taveez’ or amulet that they believed did not work.
