Modi Summons Telecom Chief Over Fake Court Orders

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office summoned Telecommunications Secretary Amit Agrawal to explain how officials ordered internet providers to block 129 betting websites based on forged High Court orders. The case has raised concerns that weak verification safeguards could allow fake court documents to be used to block legitimate sites. State police are investigating suspected forgery and fraud, while the telecommunications ministry has begun an internal review; the forged orders reportedly used fabricated court insignia and seals.
