Gadkari sues Meta over defamatory E20 posts

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has approached the Bombay High Court against defamatory social media posts, deepfakes, and videos linking him and his family to business gains from India's E20 ethanol blending programme. The court permitted him to file a civil suit against Meta and other platforms. The lawsuit denies any personal profit, noting the policy is administered by the Petroleum Ministry.
