ANI quoted sources as saying that the process of deleting a VIP account is complicated. However, the official process to delete the account has been started. There is a long delay in allowing it from China and the reason has not been given. PM Modi has posted 115 on this and 113 of them have been removed.

For VIP accounts, Weibo has a more complex procedure to quit which is why the official process was initiated. For reasons best known to the Chinese, there was great delay in granting this basic permission: Sources https://t.co/aEtTLxIPFm
