A Delhi court summoned Aroon Purie and India Today in a defamation case filed by Senior Advocate Pradeep Rai. Rai alleges that the media outlet published articles linking him to conman Sanjay Sherpuria. The legal proceedings highlight the complexities of defamation law in India and the accountability of media executives for published content.
The Delhi High Court fined Vivek Keshavan Rs 35,000 for pretending to be a PMO official to gain VIP treatment and government perks. Keshavan’s plea against the trial court order was dismissed, with the Court emphasizing the gravity of impersonation and the need for stringent measures against such fraudulent activities. The case exemplifies the misuse of high office names and underscores the importance of integrity and the rule of law.
