The Division Bench of Justice Amit Sharma and Justice Siddharth Mridul of the Delhi court has said that, social media influencers and public figures can be criticized for their action, opinions and judgment, but this should not be extended to their children and family members.

The Delhi High court judges also expressed their dislike for dragging Gaurav Taneja’s child in the subjected article written by Live Mint (a subsidiary of Hindustan Times) journalist Shepali Bhatt.

The court believes that it was a matter of concern if a journalist’s freedom extends to reaching into someone’s house and making offensive comments on their family. Moreover, calling someone as child abuser that too without any proof was offensive.

Justice Mridul said, “if you don’t like what people say or do, then please criticize them but don’t reach into their houses. Because according to us, that is offensive. And whether this extends to journalist freedom or not, we don’t know at this time. Hence, this has to be decided.”

After winning the trial, the Youtuber had announced that The Delhi High Court has asked the website daily to take down all the offensive tweets and articles.

Moviegoers attending a late-night screening of “Pushpa 2” at a multiplex in Nagpur, Maharashtra, found themselves in the midst of a real-life action scene when police stormed the cinema hall to apprehend a man linked to serious criminal activities.

The arrest of Vishal Meshram occurred shortly after midnight on Thursday and left the audience in shock, although police reassured them that they could continue watching the film as they took the suspect into custody.

Vishal Meshram had been evading law enforcement for 10 months and was reportedly traced due to authorities discovering his interest in the newly released film, as stated by an official from the Pachpaoli police station. Meshram’s criminal record includes 27 cases, with charges for two murders and drug trafficking. He has a history of violent behavior, having been known to assault police officers in the past.

Law enforcement agencies had been diligently pursuing him using cyber surveillance techniques and monitoring his movements in a newly acquired sports utility vehicle (SUV). Upon confirming his location on Thursday, police deflated the tires of his vehicle parked outside the cinema to hinder any escape attempts.

As the film reached its climax, Meshram was fully engrossed when police entered the hall, quickly surrounding him and executing the arrest without giving him a chance to resist. He is currently being held in the Nagpur Central Jail and is set to be transferred to a facility in Nashik soon.

“Pushpa 2: The Rule,” starring Allu Arjun, is the sequel to the 2021 Telugu hit “Pushpa: The Rise” and was released on December 5 in various dubbed versions, including Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, and Malayalam.
