Calcutta High Court Bars Sharing of Modi-Adani Documentary Until January 2027
The Calcutta High Court has issued an interim injunction barring the publication, uploading, and sharing of a documentary alleging close ties between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and industrialist Gautam Adani until January 31, 2027. The order followed a defamation plea by Adani Enterprises against tech entrepreneur Sabeer Bhatia, who allegedly made the video. The court described the documentary as unsubstantiated and directed social media platforms to remove the content and preserve related user data. The case will be heard by a regular bench in January 2027.
