A senior official of the STF requesting anonymity told PTI, "This is an internal order of the department, and is applicable only to the STF personnel.

The order was issued, but cannot be explained in detail to the media, as it is an internal matter of the department." The order circulating in the social media lists 52 Chinese apps including Tiktok, UC Browser and Shareit.
