Delhi HC directs Wire to take down defamatory article on chief secretary’s son

Hindustan Times  

The Delhi high court on Wednesday directed news portal The Wire to take down a defamatory article linking Delhi chief secretary Naresh Kumar’s son Karan Chauhan to a case pertaining to enhanced valuation of a land, acquired by the National Highways Authority of India for the Dwarka Expressway road project. The dispute had begun when southwest Delhi’s district magistrate Hemant Kumar overturned a 2018 decision of the additional DM of granting ₹41.52 crore for the 19 acre land in dispute based on a valuation of ₹53 lakh per acre and instead awarded ₹353 crore compensation on May 15, 2023 to two individuals Subhash Chand Kathuria and his brother Vinod Kathuria. He also added that one of the foundations of the Wire publishing the article was the role that Kumar played in getting the inquiries in the Delhi excise policy case. Delhi’s vigilance minister Atishi had last week recommended removal of Kumar and the divisional commissioner Ashwani Kumar from their post after receipt of a complaint from chief minister Arvind Kejriwal.
