Social Media platform X has removed posts made by Indian National Congress leaders Ragini Nayak, Jairam Ramesh, and Pawan Khera that contained defamatory content about renowned journalist Rajat Sharma. This action follows a directive from the Delhi High Court, underscoring the judiciary’s commitment to safeguarding individual reputations.

The Delhi High Court’s order mandated the immediate removal of the defamatory posts, recognizing the potential harm to Sharma‘s personal and professional reputation. In compliance, X swiftly acted to ensure the content was taken down.

This move highlights the seriousness with which the court addresses defamation cases, reflecting a broader commitment to upholding individuals’ rights in the digital age. The court’s intervention and the platform’s compliance demonstrate a robust response to the misuse of social media for defamatory purposes.

The Indian National Congress leaders involved have not yet commented on the court’s order or the removal of their posts. This case serves as a reminder of the legal obligations social media platforms face in monitoring and managing content, particularly when it comes to defamatory material.
