On January 8, the Delhi High Court issued a John Doe order to remove deepfake videos on Facebook misrepresenting Dr. Naresh Trehan of Medanta Hospital endorsing unverified natural remedies. The court emphasized the infringement on personality rights and the potential harm to Dr. Trehan’s reputation, granting an injunction for swift removal of such content.
