From what I saw, Rahul Gandhi, a member of the opposition party, met with the parents of a 9 year old girl who was raped and murdered. He posted a picture of this meeting on Twitter, which included the parents. Saying, “Parents' tears are saying only one thing -- their daughter, the daughter of this country, deserves justice. And I am with them on this path to justice.”

So then, "Claiming that the tweet was in violation of provisions of the Juvenile Justice Act and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) had asked the Delhi Police and Twitter to take action over Rahul Gandhi posting the photo of the girl's family on the microblogging website."

Then, I think a bunch of other members of this party started posting the picture in protest, and also have been banned.

I think Twitter has claimed that the image isn't just illegal, but also violates their policy.

Yep. According to Indian laws, publishing the identities or pictures of rape victims (or their families) is illegal. Twitter really doesn't have a choice here.

Well, sort of. That's why I'm trying to figure out if they decided it was doxxing or if they decided it was illegal in India.

There are separate procedures for those... Their policies for doxxing are global. But for content illegal in a region, Twitter will hide tweets that are illegal within that jurisdiction, but not globally (cross reference handling of Nazi support messages and imagery in France and Germany... Which, as a side note, creates the funny side effect that if you grab that channel of data for a specific tweet or account, you can tell if Twitter thinks a user is a Nazi sympathizer).

It looks like there is confusion in the way this is being reported. In some news articles they wrote accounts were locked. In one article it was mentioned that the tweets were made invisible.
