Delhi HC Dismisses Journalist's Defamation Case: 'If You're So Touchy, Don't Be On X'

• The Delhi High Court dismissed a defamation claim by journalist Rohan Dua over a social media comment on X (formerly Twitter).
• Justice Avneesh Jhingan stated the remark "could not be milder" and advised, "If you people are so touchy, then don’t go on the platform."
• Dua, founder of The New Indian, filed the case after criticism of his interview with Olympian Manu Bhaker, where he asked about photos with Neeraj Chopra.
• Social media users, including Roshan Rai, termed Dua’s questions "sexist" and criticized his focus on Bhaker's appearance.
• The Court removed X user Mirza Arif Baig from the list of defendants, noting his comment was already deleted and he had a small following.
