After two police teams descended on Twitter's offices in Delhi and Gurgaon, the Congress on Monday slammed the Modi govt over the "cowardly raid". The party alleged that the raids by the Delhi Police "expose lameduck attempts" to hide a "fraudulent toolkit" by BJP leaders.

The Delhi Police's Special Cell on Monday sent a notice to Twitter India in connection with the probe into a complaint about an alleged 'Covid toolkit'. The police asked the company to share information based on which it had classified a related tweet by BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra as "manipulated media".

Congress' chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala alleged that the "subjugation of free speech, the attempts to stifle any dissenting voice against this government and the state-sponsored fraudulent means to propagate and to instill fear continue unabated in Modi government".

He alleged that the BJP forged documents to produce a "fake toolkit".
