NEW DELHI—An Indian court has summoned Alibaba and its founder Jack Ma in a case where a former employee in India alleges he was wrongfully fired after objecting to what he saw as censorship and fake news on company apps, documents seen by Reuters showed.
The case comes weeks after India, citing security concerns, banned Alibaba’s UC News, UC Browser, and 59 other apps, mostly Chinese-developed, after a border clash between the two countries’ forces.
