SGI refers to response of Telegram. He says that they were asked to take measures.

SGI: the anonymity enhancing feature, including concealed phone numbers materially impede effective investigation

SGI: telegram further provides an extensive BOT ecosystem providing automatic redirecting to mirror channels. Permits use of user names, large volume file sharing..creates a eco system for dissemination of exam leak material

SGI: once BOT is blocked it is automatically redirected to another BOT. No human intervention needed

Court: automatic?

SGI: yes

SGI says problems lies in the underlying architecture which relies on BOT infra.

These features can be exploited for dissemination leaks, terrorist propaganda which poses serious challenge: SGI

SGI says that as per report the app is the most preferred platform for terrorist activities.

‘But right now we’re not concerned with it…so I’m not going into it…they are facing problems in other jurisdictions because of the architectural design’ SGI

SGI: That Telegram permits users to conceal critical identifiers, including their phone numbers, and communicate solely through usernames. In many instances, even such usernames do not reveal any verifiable identity of the user.

SGI: This feature significantly impedes the ability of law enforcement agencies to identify co-conspirators, trace communication chains, and establish attribution during the course of investigation.

SGI: we don't have this problem with other intermediaries. This platform operates through cloud. Even if they block it and someone does mischief, law enforcement agency cannot reach the actual user

SGI reads report: As per report Telegram can offer bot infrastructure which can desiminate info in bulk. This feature is unique as it permits creation of sophisticated networks with minimal human oversight

SGI: in telegram one account user can create 40 bots. Bots are machines. Bots can further multiply.
