The Twitter account of Gurmeet, who is in jail serving 20 years of sentence after he was convicted of rape has been disabled by Twitter. It has not been suspended or deleted but Twitter's policies allow restriction of a Twitter account in a particular region. If a Twitter user in India tries to access Gurmeet's account, he or she is now shown a message saying that the Twitter account has been restricted in India. But chances are that instead of deleting the account, Twitter is complying with the Indian law by restricting Gurmeet's account in India. Gurmeet's Twitter account has over 3.6 million followers.
