The account I have used is more than a year old. I would be harassed by Hindutva goons online and offline if I use my real identity. Maybe also a false police case.
Also Razorpay is not innocent here.
They could have disputed the demand in the court. Could have informed the users that their data was shared with government. Could have shared only the transactions that originated in a foreign country.They did none of these.
Also note that donations could not have been done with a foreign credit card. So the intent is to harass the individuals that supported the fack-checking website.
Also, note that the founder and the company has been fans of the current nationalistic government. More reasons why they did not dispute the police demand.
