AP Police misused FBI identity in takedown request to X, alleges Jagan

YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Wednesday alleged that the Andhra Pradesh Police had misrepresented themselves as U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) while seeking the removal of posts from X.

In a statement posted on X, Mr. Jagan alleged that the incident reflected a pattern of what he termed “Red Book governance” under Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, and that it was tantamount to politically motivated harassment.

While claiming that X had confirmed that the takedown request originated from an official Andhra Pradesh Police email address and not from the FBI, the YSRCP president alleged that FBI identity was used in the communication.
