Kunal Kamra's 'doctored' video: NCPCR summons Twitter director for not filing action report
tech.hindustantimes.comThe country's apex child rights body NCPCR has summoned Twitter India's communications director on Wednesday for not submitting an action taken report against comedian Kunal Kamra for posting a "doctored" video of a boy singing a patriotic song for Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his Germany visit earlier this month.
On May 5, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights had sought action against Kamra for tweeting the "doctored" video.
The Commission has now asked Director, Twitter Communications India, to appear on Wednesday with the details of the action taken report.
"A letter in this regard was sent to your good offices dated 05.05.2022 calling for an ATR (action taken report) in the instant complaint within 7 days or receipt of the letter.
