Delhi HC orders removal of content linking Hardeep Puri's daughter to Jeffrey Epstein

• The Delhi High Court has directed social media platforms to remove content linking Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri's daughter, Himayani Puri, to convicted American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein within 24 hours.
• Justice Mini Pushkarna stated that if users fail to delete the content, platforms must take it down or block access, and restrained several users from publishing such content.
• The court noted a prima facie case in Himayani Puri's favor, citing potential irreparable harm without interim relief.
• Himayani Puri, a finance professional, filed a plea seeking Rs 10 crore in damages, alleging a 'coordinated and malicious online campaign' to falsely associate her with Epstein.
• Her lawsuit asserts that she is being targeted solely as the Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister's daughter, with allegations of connections to Epstein being 'entirely false, malicious and devoid of factual foundation'.
