Social media platform X asked by West Bengal Police to take down old cartoons with CM

The West Bengal Police have issued a takedown notice to social media platform X, claiming that two posts by cartoonist Manjul from six years ago violate Indian law.

Both cartoons featured Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee.

X has informed Manjul of the police communication but has not removed the content from the platform as of Thursday evening, the cartoonist confirmed.
