Activist Saket Gokhale was asked today by the Delhi High Court to immediately delete tweets against Lakshmi Murdeshwar Puri as the court also stopped him from posting “scandalous” tweets against her and her husband- Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri.
If Mr Gokhale fails to follow the court’s order within 24 hours, Justice C Hari Shankar said, Twitter will take down the posts.
The court also asked Ms Puri, a former Assistant Secretary- General at the United Nations to “implad Twitter as a party to the proceedings.”
The court passed the order on a defamation suit filed by Lakshmi Puri , seeking Rs.5 crore as damages from Mr Gokhale and a direction that he remove the tweets.
