Reuters' X Account Blocked in India Amid Legal Demand Confusion

Reuters' X account has been unexpectedly blocked in India following a legal demand made during the operation known as Sindoor. The government, however, has denied any recent legal actions demanding such a block, seeking an explanation from X on the sudden enforcement.
Sources indicate the block stems from a May 7 order, which until recently, remained unenforced. The government points to Elon Musk's ownership of X as a possible source of the unexpected execution of the old order.
While various affiliated handles remain untouched, the main Reuters account is now inaccessible in India. Official inquiries to X are ongoing, with hopes of a swift resolution and reinstatement of access to the blocked accounts.
