The Delhi High Court on Thursday asked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to take down an online post put up by him on social media platform X in 2021 disclosing the identity of a minor girl who was allegedly raped and murdered.
On August 4, 2021, Mr. Gandhi met the parents of the nine-year-old girl who was allegedly raped, and murdered in south-west Delhi. He then shared a picture of himself with the victim’s parents on X, formerly Twitter. The post was later geo-blocked by the social media company.
The High Court on Thursday told Mr. Gandhi that although X has removed his post in India, it remained accessible beyond the borders of the country. It asked the counsel for Mr. Gandhi to have it removed.
