# Saurav Das moves Delhi HC over address disclosure by Abhijit Iyer Mitra 2026-08-21T10:55:58+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets Cockroach Janta Party spokesperson Saurav Das has filed a suit in the Delhi High Court against commentator Abhijit Iyer Mitra and media platforms including The Pamphlet, LawBeat, The Jaipur Dialogues and The Sunday Guardian for allegedly disclosing his residential address and personal details online. The suit names Google and X Corp as defendants and seeks damages of Rs 2.01 lakh, permanent injunctions against publishing the information, and orders to remove the content. Das argues the disclosure violates his right to privacy, dignity and security, and creates a real risk of violence at his home. Das claims representatives of The Pamphlet trespassed into his shared rented room in Greater Kailash-I and published footage from inside on X on August 5, which has garnered over 2.1 million views. He says Iyer Mitra disclosed the address on a LawBeat programme, naming a neighbour and incorrectly stating the rent at around Rs 7 lakh a month. Das says he filed a police complaint on August 5 and notified the defendants of security risks, but the disclosures continued. The court is yet to hear the matter. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All three sources report the facts of the lawsuit in a straight news style, with no discernible slant. LiveLaw and Barandbench provide the most detail on the legal claims, including the specific damages amount of Rs 2.01 lakh and the view count of the video, while Times Now adds context about a prior police complaint. None of the sources question Das's motives or downplay the privacy concerns, nor do they give prominence to any counterarguments from the defendants. The coverage is uniform neutral reporting. A careful reader should note that the case highlights a growing trend of legal battles over doxxing, and the outcome could set a precedent for how courts balance free speech with privacy in online disputes. The next step is the court's hearing, likely within weeks. ## Coverage Coverage: 3 sources, 3 neutral - livelaw.in (neutral report) Led with legal details and Das's claims without editorial comment - barandbench.com (neutral report) Reported damages figure and video view count factually - timesnownews.com (neutral report) Relied on PTI feed and added background on police complaint This story was synthesised by AI from the 3 sources linked above.
