NDTV
Rahul Gandhi had published a photograph with the parents of the nine-year-old Dalit girl who died under suspicious circumstances, with her parents alleging that she was raped.
The Delhi High Court on Thursday asked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to take down his social media post which revealed the identity of a minor Dalit girl, raped and murdered in 2021, so that the child's identity is protected worldwide.
In the post, which stands geo-blocked by social media platform X in the country, Mr Gandhi published a photograph with the parents of the nine-year-old Dalit girl who died under suspicious circumstances on August 1, 2021, with her parents alleging that she was raped, murdered and cremated by a crematorium's priest in southwest Delhi's Old Nangal village.
Following the post, Mr Gandhi's account was suspended by the social media platform for some time but it was subsequently restored.
