Mumbai Police Issue Notices to 24 X Accounts Over Sabeer Bhatia Documentary
Mumbai Police issued legal notices to 24 X account holders for sharing a documentary by Sabeer Bhatia alleging corruption involving Prime Minister Narendra Modi and industrialist Gautam Adani. The police cited complaints that the content was false, misleading, and damaging to the company's reputation, violating Sections 352 and 356 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Some account holders removed the documentary, while others posted the notices, calling the action unjust. The documentary had earlier faced takedown orders from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
