The police said they do not "restrict interaction with any citizen" and their technical team was investigating the matter. "Why has @MumbaiPolice blocked me?" Rohatgi tweeted, accusing the police of "biased behaviour", and tagging the office of chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and also his wife Amruta Fadnavis.
She also posted a screenshot of the Mumbai Police's account which showed her Twitter account as blocked. Amruta Fadnavis tweeted from her handle @fadnavis_amruta, "A citizen expressing personal views (not intending to hurt religious sentiments) on social media - should not be blocked by public entities/organizations. Request @MumbaiPolice to look into the issue of @Payal_Rohatgi"
