Supreme Court orders removal of name of hospital doctor RG Kar, photo from social media
The Supreme Court has ordered the removal from social media of the name, photos and videos of the practicing doctor who was raped and killed. A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud observed that revealing the identity of a sexual assault victim was a violation of the Supreme Court order passed in the Nipun Saxena case, which emphasized the need to protect a victim from any control. Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court had said that it was very concerned that the name of the deceased was published on all social media.
“Photos and video clips are all over the media. "We are the first to recognize freedom of expression, but there are well-established parameters. There are court decisions such as in the Nipun Saxena case that the names of survivors of sexual assault will not be published," he said the Supreme Court.
In its 2018 decision on the Nipun Saxena case, the Supreme Court ordered: "No person shall print or publish in paper, electronics, social media, etc. the name of the victim or even remotely discover facts that may lead to the identification of the victim and who must make his identity known to the general public.
