Delhi HC Urges CJP Leaders to Remove Defamatory Posts in Gaurav Bhatia Case
BJP leader Gaurav Bhatia filed a ₹2 crore defamation suit in Delhi High Court against Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) leaders over an AI-generated social media graphic falsely attributing remarks to him about influencer Swatantra Bhardwaj. The court urged CJP members to remove the posts, which they agreed to do within 24 hours. While the graphic was deleted and acknowledged as AI-generated, Bhatia claimed ongoing circulation caused reputational harm. The court emphasized responsible expression and verification, allowing Bhatia to seek removal of similar content from platforms.
