# Delhi Police orders platform to remove 11 protest posts 2026-10-08T03:34:26+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Delhi Police has asked a social media platform to remove or restrict access to 11 posts and videos that it says present a misleading account of police action during a protest in the capital. The Joint Commissioner of Police, Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (IFSO), issued notices on Monday, 5 October under the Information Technology Act, 2000, giving the platform three hours to comply. The police argue that the videos selectively portray intervention as ‘misbehaviour or unwarranted use of force’ while omitting alleged obstruction and resistance that preceded it. The action follows the 6 October arrest of Nadeem Ahmed Ameen from Mewat for allegedly circulating an AI-generated video falsely showing a police officer assaulting a woman. Police are investigating whether the fabricated content was part of a larger conspiracy to malign the Delhi Police. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both outlets carry identical PTI copy, giving uniform straight coverage of the Delhi Police notice. The police account is reported without challenge, and the notice’s framing, that the videos are ‘selective’ and ‘misleading’, is presented as fact. No counter-view from the platform, the protesters, or any rights body appears. The notice itself says the AI-generated video case is under investigation for a possible larger conspiracy, the story repeats that claim with no independent corroboration. The coverage is single-source throughout. The open question, in the notice’s own terms, is whether the platform complies with the three-hour removal deadline set for Monday, 5 October. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - cnbctv18.com (neutral report) Straight PTI wire, no independent reporting or context added - siasat.com (neutral report) Identical PTI wire, appends download prompts This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
