Digital rights groups Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) and Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) have approached the Delhi High Court to challenge notices from Delhi Police that ask X to remove their accounts and certain posts. The groups say the notices are linked to allegations of defamation involving the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), which is described as the RSS’s parent organisation.
According to multiple outlets, Delhi Police issued the notices to X after the organisations published content the police said was defamatory. IFF and SFLC are asking the police to withdraw the takedown notices or provide the underlying complaint or basis for the actions. One outlet also reports details of the notices’ timing and the number of posts or URLs listed, while others focus more generally on the removal request.
The coverage differs mainly in emphasis: some outlets foreground the court challenge and the authenticity of the takedown notices, while others lead with Delhi Police’s request to X to remove accounts. Across reports, the central points remain consistent: police action targets the groups’ X presence, and the dispute is tied to alleged defamation claims concerning the RSS.
