Apple has reportedly turned down the Enforcement Directorate (ED)'s request for assistance in unlocking the iPhone of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The reason has more to do with the United States-based tech giant's stringent policies than its unwillingness to help the central agency. One such policy is the "Legal Process Guidelines" for non-US government and law enforcement agencies, which prohibits the company from providing passcodes for locked iOS devices.
