This is not the first time that the Indian Twitter head has been dragged into controversy and been trolled and bullied online. In February this year, Raheel Khursheed faced the wrath of Twitter when Twitter suspended the account of the user, Sonam Mahajan for releasing old pictures of Dangal actress Zaira Wasim’s mother’s posts, which appeared extremely anti-national. The pictures released by Sonam Mahajan led to a lot of hate and abuse on Twitter, and the social media company took action against the user. However, Raheel became a target back then as well, because of his Kashmiri connections and was only spared when he expressed his frustration on Twitter and asked people to complain with Twitter Safety account!
