| Ok, providing a little context here about how this played out. 1. A group of Hindu women petition a court for the right to (continue) worship at (what is now) the Gyanvapi mosque 2. The court orders that a survey of the mosque be carried out to determine if there is a historical locus standii for the petition 3. Videos of the survey reveal what appears to be a Shiva linga in a pond used for ablutions 4. Heated TV debates on prime time about the find. In one such debate a muslim cleric makes derogatory references to Shiva. In response a spokesperson of the ruling BJP, Nupur Sharma, says Prophet Mohammed married a girl of 6 and consumated the relationship when she was 9. 5. Zubair Mohammed of Altnews, begins a tweetstorm against Nupur Sharma and the channel for hurting muslim sentiments by making derogatory references to the prophet 6. Nupur Sharma says she is receiving threats due to Zubair's call and goes into hiding. Police on the lookout to arrest her for offending religious sentiments 7. Several videos posted demanding that she be killed and processions with "Sar tan se juda" slogans taken out (separate head from body) 8. Several also post "IStandWithNupur" in her support on social media. One such person is a tailor named Khanaiyya in Udaipur. 9. Khanaiyya is beheaded for standing in support of Nupur Sharma. The murderers record the killing on video and also threaten that the prime minister will meet the same fate 10. Many see this as a result of Zubair's call for action against Nupur and pull up old tweets of his with derogatory comments against Hindu practices demanding his arrest 11. Zubair is arrested and Altnews financials come under the scanner. Police use section 91 to obtain details of Altnews financing via Razorpay |
Nupur Sharma's statements created an international controversy for India with several Gulf countries demanding a public apology from India.
Zubair was arrested within days of a complaint being raised on a tweet he made in 2018, while Nupur Sharma hasn't been arrested yet, even after causing an international incident.
IMO, Razorpay would have been forced to give up the data, Section 91 or not, since the current government doesn't really care about due process.
The link below gives more details about the tweet that led to Zubair's arrest.

Excerpts from the above article:
> According to the FIR, Zubair had used a screengrab of an old Hindi movie which showed an image of a hotel, with its board reading 'Hanuman hotel' instead of 'Honeymoon hotel'.
> In his tweet, Zubair had written: "BEFORE 2014: Honeymoon Hotel. After 2014: Hanuman Hotel".
> The complainant -- Twitter user @balajikijaiin, tagging the Delhi Police had written: "Linking our God Hanuman Ji with Honeymoon is a direct insult of Hindus because he is a brahmchari. Kindly take action against this."
> Noting the complaint, the police in the FIR said that the words and pictures used by Zubair in the tweet against a particular community were highly provocative and more than sufficient to incite feelings of hatred among people which can be detrimental for maintenance of public tranquility in the society.
