ANI has 7.6 million followers on Twitter and is the most followed news agency Twitter handle in India. Actually, while blocking ANI’s account, Twitter gave the reason that ANI’s account comes under age restrictions and it is younger than 13 years.

To restore, ANI will have to send all the information to Twitter. ANI editor Smita Prakash said that before blocking ANI’s Twitter account, Elon Musk’s company had removed the gold check mark from ANI’s account and given it to Blue Tick Company instead. Now Twitter has closed the account.
Attention @TwitterSupport @TwitterIndia can you restore the ANI handle please. We are not under 13 years of age! https://t.co/50ZJShiZRs

After Twitter was bought by Elon Musk, such incidents have happened on the platform till now which people do not understand. Some time ago Twitter had removed the legacy checkmark from the account. But then suddenly it was returned to some people. During this, the blue checkmark company also put some such accounts which are no longer in this world. Elon Musk has made many such changes on Twitter till now which people are not able to understand.
