Jack Dorsey said India raided homes of Twitter's workers when the company refused to ban some accounts.
Dorsey said India, the world's biggest democracy, also threatened to shut Twitter down in the country.
Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey said India's government previously raided the homes of the company's employees when the platform refused to comply with censorship demands.
The Indian government asked Twitter to permanently ban accounts that were aggressively critical of the government, which the platform refused to do.
On Tuesday, India's information technology minister, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, tweeted that Dorsey's claim about Twitter employees' homes being raided was an "outright lie."
