AP Police misused FBI identity in takedown request to X, alleges Jagan

The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

YSRCP president Y.S.
Jagan Mohan Reddy has alleged that Andhra Pradesh Police posed as the U.S.
FBI while seeking removal of posts on X. Jagan claimed that X confirmed the takedown request came from an official Andhra Pradesh Police email address rather than from the FBI.
Jagan described the incident as part of a pattern of 'Red Book governance' under Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and called it politically motivated harassment.
Jagan questioned who authorised the takedown request and whether the aim was to suppress criticism of the State government on issues like Super Six and Super Seven promises, DSC recruitment, Amaravati and rising State debt.
The allegation matters because using a foreign agency's name in a takedown request, if true, could damage the credibility of the State police.

Any clarification or denial from the Andhra Pradesh Police or the State government on who authorised the takedown request.
Whether X publicly confirms the origin of the takedown request and takes any action.
Whether the alleged misuse of FBI identity triggers a formal inquiry or legal proceedings.
