Supreme Court Questions UP Police on Social Media Data Request in Journalist's Case
The Supreme Court directed the Ghaziabad Police Commissioner to clarify the information sought from social media platform X regarding journalist Abhishek Upadhyay's account in a road rage case. Upadhyay, who reported on alleged donation embezzlement at the Ayodhya Ram Temple, challenged the police notice seeking extensive account data dating back before the FIR. The court questioned the necessity of accessing his digital footprint, while the police cited a medico-legal report supporting the investigation. Upadhyay has protection from arrest amid concerns over potential harassment.
