Senior journalist Rajdeep Sardesai has appealed to the Delhi High Court against a ruling requiring him to remove an allegedly defamatory video involving BJP leader Shazia Ilmi. The court earlier deemed the video violated Ilmi’s privacy rights. The appeal includes claims that Ilmi suppressed facts, with the case scheduled for further hearings.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Shazia Ilmi filed a defamation suit before the Delhi High Court against journalist Rajdeep Sardesai over a video uploaded by him accusing Ilmi of “abusing” an India Today video journalist. Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora directed Sardesai and India Today to furnish the complete, unedited video by Monday and listed the case for hearing on Tuesday.
