The Delhi High Court on Tuesday directed the removal of objectionable social media content targeting Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Kumar Choudhary.
The National Conference (NC) leader has, in his plea, alleged that there is defamatory content against him with sexual undertones on several social media platforms, including Facebook and YouTube.
Justice Amit Bansal, while granting the interim relief, said a prima facie case is made out in favour of Mr. Choudhary in the defamation suit filed by him.
Urging the court to order removal of the objectionable content from the Internet, Mr. Choudhary’s counsel said his face has been plastered all over with a woman in the viral videos.
The court noted that, according to the suit, Mr. Choudhary has been an upright leader throughout his career and has achieved the position through his efforts. It listed the matter for further proceedings in April.
Mr. Choudhary’s counsel had earlier told the court that most of the content dates back to two years and the majority of the URLs relate to media reports.
