Bombay High Court Orders Removal of Defamatory Video Against Adar Poonawalla
The Bombay High Court directed social media platform X Corp to remove a video posted by influencer Yohan Tengra containing defamatory content against Serum Institute CEO Adar Poonawalla. The court issued show-cause notices to Tengra and three others for violating a June 2023 injunction that barred defamatory posts. Tengra uploaded the video despite the order, calling Poonawalla a "mass murderer." The court declined broader censorship requests, emphasizing that intermediaries act only on court orders under the IT Act. The case is set for further hearing on October 27.
