Delhi High Court Orders Removal of 18 seconds footage of Shazia Ilmi Violating Privacy & imposes ₹25,000 cost

The Delhi High Court has ordered the removal of an 18-second video that captured BJP leader Shazia Ilmi's residence, without her consent, citing a violation of her right to privacy.

The footage was recorded after Ilmi exited a televised debate and depicted her in a vulnerable state post exit. 

However, the Court imposed ₹25,000 as costs on Ilmi for willfully hiding two relevant tweets and said that while some of Sardesai’s comments were misleading, others were fact-based and fair.

The court ordered that the video must be taken down by all defendants until final suit disposal.
