The Indian government has blocked Instagram accounts of prominent Pakistani cricketers, including Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, citing legal compliance. This action follows the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in 26 fatalities and was linked to the Lashkar-e-Taiba. Instagram users in India attempting to access these profiles now see a message stating, "Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content." The move is part of a broader effort to limit digital content associated with Pakistan, with YouTube also suspending accounts of Pakistani cricketers like Shoaib Akhtar and Shahid Afridi for allegedly spreading provocative content.
