Saurav Das sues Abhijit Iyer Mitra, portals over address leak

Cockroach Janta Party spokesperson Saurav Das has sued commentator Abhijit Iyer Mitra and several web portals in the Delhi High Court, alleging they unlawfully published his residential address and personal information on social media. The suit names Iyer Mitra, The Pamphlet, Law Beat, The Jaipur Dialogues, The Sunday Guardian, Google, and X Corp. Das seeks damages of Rs 2.01 lakh and a permanent injunction restraining the defendants from further disclosing his address.

Das claims that representatives of The Pamphlet trespassed into his shared Greater Kailash-I residence, recorded its interiors, and published the footage on X, where it garnered over 2.1 million views. He also alleges that Iyer Mitra disclosed the address on a Law Beat programme, incorrectly stating the rent as Rs 7 lakh per month. The suit argues that repeated disclosure of his address, combined with prior violent threats, creates a real and foreseeable risk of harm to him and others in the premises. A police complaint lodged on August 5 did not stop the alleged continued circulation of his information.
