The Uttar Pradesh Police on Tuesday moved the Supreme Court against the Karnataka High Court's order, granting protection to Twitter India head Manish Maheshwari in the Ghaziabad assault video case.
On June 24, the Karnataka High Court had granted Maheshwari protection from arrest in an FIR lodged by Loni Police in Ghaziabad. UP police had issued a notice to the Twitter MD, asking him to appear at Loni police station for questioning.
Maheshwari has also approached the top court and filed a caveat asking the court to hear his side before passing any orders on UP Police's appeal.
The HC had directed that no coercive action be taken against him till June 29, but said police could continue the probe virtually.
