In another bizarre episode, Twitter suspended one of India's leading news agencies, United News of India (UNI). The microblogging site did not give any reason as to why the account was suspended. However, a few hours later, the account was restored. The news has come as shock to many as Twitter is verifying accounts that are just two months old and a reputed Indian news wire is getting suspended without any reason.
After the account was restored, the news agency tweeted, "For reasons unknown to us, our Twitter account was suspended for a few hours. We are back now. Thank you for your patience."
