A Jalandhar court has ordered social media platforms to immediately block a fake and digitally manipulated video of former Delhi CM Atishi, citing threat to communal harmony. The court invoked IT Rules, 2021, and directed Meta, X, and Telegram to remove all versions of the content and submit a compliance report within 10 days.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court dismissed a plea challenging the acceptance of a cancellation report in a case against Punjabi singer Gurdas Maan, accused of hurting religious sentiments. The court upheld the lower court’s decision, providing relief to Maan. The case raised questions about evidence examination in legal proceedings and the significance of comprehensive evidence scrutiny in judicial decisions.
