The Calcutta High Court has ordered that a documentary alleging ties between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and industrialist Gautam Adani be blocked from being published, uploaded, or shared online until January 31, 2027. The court directs major social media platforms to remove the video and related materials, including clips, excerpts, and materially identical reposts.
The decision follows a defamation suit filed by Adani Enterprises against individuals connected to the documentary. The court issues an interim injunction, requiring the respondents to take down the video and disable access at specific URLs mentioned in the petition, including by blocking the engagement functions that allow reposts, quote posts, shares, and similar methods through which the content remains accessible.
Across outlets, the core facts are consistent: the injunction lasts until January 31, 2027, and it covers both the original documentary and reproductions. Coverage differs mainly in emphasis, with some reports adding the court’s reasoning about whether the material is treated as a news report and whether the allegations are substantiated.
