Gujarat Police Seize Devices After Court Upholds FIR Against Journalist Ravi Nair
The Gujarat High Court declined to quash an FIR against journalist Ravi Nair related to a 2025 Washington Post article alleging government-directed LIC investments in the Adani Group. Following the court's decision, Gujarat and Delhi police conducted searches at Nair's residences in Kerala and Delhi, seizing electronic devices including phones and laptops belonging to Nair, his son, and a colleague. The FIR stems from defamation complaints by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd, alleging false information and forged documents in Nair's reporting and social media posts.
