Calcutta HC seeks IP logs in ‘sealed cover’, asks platforms to block copies of Adani-Modi video
In a defamation case brought by Adani Enterprises against Hotmail founder Sabeer Bhatia, the Calcutta High Court issued an interim injunction ordering YouTube, X and Instagram to remove a 36-minute video essay titled 'How Modi and Adani Stole India'. The court also sought IP logs and user information of anonymous accounts from the platforms within two weeks in sealed cover, while barring Bhatia from re-sharing the content. The video had already been geo-blocked on YouTube in India and copies had circulated on alternate platforms.
Key points
- Court ordered three platforms to disable access to a 36-minute documentary on Modi and Adani
- Sought IP logs of anonymous accounts in sealed cover from intermediaries
- Bhatia barred from re-sharing video or related clips
