Telangana Police Invoke UAPA to Seek TeluguScribe’s X Account Data

Overview

• TollywoodScribe’s X account became the target of a police notice dated April 18 that asked X’s legal team in Texas for registration data, usage logs, and activity details under BNSS Section 94 and UAPA Section 43F.
• The notice alleges abusive language and morphed media that could incite violence against a public figure, yet it does not name the person or cite specific posts.
• TeluguScribe denied any unlawful activity and called the move an abuse of power, saying the Congress government led by A. Revanth Reddy has filed about 70 cases against it over two and a half years.
• The Internet Freedom Foundation condemned the request as an illegal use of anti-terror law that could chill speech protected by Article 19(1)(a).
• There is no public word on X’s response or any court review, and reporters note the handle often backs the BRS and criticizes the Congress party.
