HC directs YouTube to take down misleading content on Bachchan grandchild

The Delhi High Court on Thursday directed YouTube channels and Google to take down ‘misleading content’ claiming that Aaradhya Bachchan, daughter of actors Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, was ‘critically ill’ and ‘no more ‘.

The court, while hearing a lawsuit by the minor child and her father, said spreading misinformation about a child reflects ‘morbid perversity’.

Justice C Hari Shankar said that every child is entitled to be treated with honour and respect and dissemination of misleading information concerning a child’s health was “completely intolerable in law”.
