Instagram has blocked for Indian users a reel posted on LiveLaw's official account explaining the Election Commission of India's (ECI) version in an affidavit filed before the Supreme Court, stating that it had received a legal request to restrict the content.

The platform has not provided any specific explanation as to how the reel allegedly violated any law or the nature of the legal request that prompted its removal.

Instagram restricted the reel with the message: "We received a legal request to restrict this content."

The reel explained the ECI's position as set out in its affidavit filed before the Supreme Court in proceedings concerning the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The video was intended to explain the poll body's version in the ongoing legal proceedings. Notably, there was no critical commentary offered in the video.

The same video continues to be available on YouTube.
