Delhi High Court Orders Rajdeep Sardesai to Remove Controversial Video

The Delhi High Court has directed journalist Rajdeep Sardesai to remove an objectionable video featuring BJP leader Shazia Ilmi from social media. Ilmi alleged that the video, recorded without her consent after a debate had concluded, defamed her and violated her privacy. The court has issued notices to the defendants for a hearing on August 16.

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday ordered veteran journalist Rajdeep Sardesai to take down an objectionable video from social media that allegedly shows BJP leader Shazia Ilmi abusing a video journalist.

Justice Manmeet PS Arora issued the interim order following Ilmi's plea, which claimed that she was defamed and her privacy violated when the cameraperson recorded her without consent after a news debate show had ended.

The court issued notices to Sardesai, India Today, and the cameraperson, requesting their submissions by August 16 and asking for the video transcript to be presented.
