What kind of info needed from X in road-rage case against journalist, SC asks Ghaziabad Police
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court asked the Ghaziabad Police on Monday to state the kind of information it is seeking from microblogging platform X in relation to a road-rage case against a journalist who had flagged alleged irregularities in the handling of donations at Ayodhya's Ram temple.
A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant said once furnished, such information would be put in the public domain till further orders.
While dealing with Abhishek Upadhyay's petition challenging the Ghaziabad Police's FIR against him in the road-rage case, the bench emphasised that a balance has to be struck between an accused's right to privacy and the rights of the victim and the investigating agency to thoroughly probe a matter.
