A Delhi court at Patiala House ordered the news portal OpIndia to temporarily remove two articles from 2018 and 2019 that Swati Chaturvedi said were defamatory. The interim order, passed by District Judge Meenu Kaushik, also restrained the portal from publishing defamatory content about her while her defamation suit is pending. OpIndia subsequently moved the Delhi High Court to challenge the order, arguing that it restricts free speech.
