Payal Rohatgi’s Twitter account suspended for second time in a month for violating rules

Hindi film industry starlet and ex Bigg Boss contestant Payal Rohatgi’s Twitter account was suspended on Wednesday morning for violating the rules of the social media site.

Rohtagi has been quite active on social media and has often been slammed for her controversial and hateful posts.

Following the suspension of her Twitter account, Rohtagi posted a screenshot of a message from Twitter saying her account has been suspended. In another video post, she appealed to her followers to help her restore her profile.

“A while back I came to know that my Twitter account has been suspended. No reason has been given or an e-mail has been sent on my official id. I don’t understand what the reason is and it is for all of you to figure out with Twitter India why my account has been deleted,” she said in the video message.

Contrary to the contents of her posts which often include abuses and expletives, she further stated in the video that she never uses abusive language on social media and shares 'facts'. “However, my attempt to do so has been projected in bad light by liberals and extremists who control Twitter. I appeal to people to please urge Twitter to restore my account, otherwise, I will not be able to talk to anyone," she concluded.

This is the second time Rohtagi’s account has been suspended in a month's time. In June, her account was suspended for a week.

In December 2019, Payal Rohtagi was also detained by the Rajasthan Police in a case related to alleged objectionable content against the Nehru-Gandhi family on social media.
