Mumbai Court Grants Interim Relief to Sayani Gupta in Defamation Case
A Mumbai civil court granted interim relief to filmmaker and actor Sayani Gupta in her defamation suit against Vinita Negi. The court restrained Negi and others from publishing or circulating defamatory content alleging Gupta's short film 'Aasmani' copied Negi's unfinished documentary. The order also directed platforms like Meta and Reddit to remove such content. Gupta's plea stated that allegations and a circulated 'statement of support' with over 250 signatures harmed her reputation and led to the film's withdrawal from the Indian Film Festival of New Zealand.
