Saurav Das moves Delhi HC over address disclosure by Abhijit Iyer Mitra

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.
