Delhi High Court Orders Removal of 'Sexist' Criticism Against Journalist

The Delhi High Court has ordered social media users to take down their critical posts about journalist Rohan Dua's interview with Olympian Manu Bhaker, labeling it 'sexist'. The court directive followed an affidavit showing Bhaker had no issues with the interview. Defamation claims by Dua highlight concerns over professional reputation.

The Delhi High Court on Monday issued an order directing social media users to remove posts criticizing journalist Rohan Dua's interview with Olympian Manu Bhaker, calling the content 'sexist.'

Justice Navin Chawla mandated that the social media handles delete the posts within a week, or face content-blocking actions by intermediaries.

This interim order came after an affidavit from Bhaker's side indicated that she took no offense to the interview, which had been approved by her team and even liked by her.
