X tells an Indian court that purported police orders demanding removal of content and blocking accounts belonging to two prominent Indian free-speech groups were fake. The company says the alleged takedown requests, which surfaced publicly and triggered backlash, were not legitimate.

The two outlets described the same core development: X’s court submission comes days after the orders were reported widely and led to an outcry. While the framing differs slightly, both accounts focus on X’s claim that the requests targeting the groups were not real, rather than detailing who may have issued the disputed notices. The reports also highlight the legal context, with X raising the issue in court and relating the matter to police-led content regulation claims.

Overall, the coverage centers on X’s dispute of the authenticity of policing-related takedown instructions and the scrutiny that followed when the purported notices became public.
