Cockroach Janta Party's Saurav Das has filed a suit before the Delhi High Court against commentator Abhijit Iyer Mitra, digital media platform Pamplet, legal news website Law Beat and others over allegations of revealing his residential address and personal information on social media.

The suit seeks mandatory and permanent injunction against the defendants, which also include Sunday Guardian and Jaipur Dialogues. The suit also names Google LLC and X Corp (formerly Twitter) as defendants.

The suit claims violation of Das' right to privacy, dignity and security. Das has also sought damages against the Defendants for intrusion into and publication of his private life.

Das has claimed that the defendants have unlawfully discovered, recorded, published and repeatedly disseminated his residential address and other deeply personal and sensitive information concerning his background, particulars of parents and his sexuality.

Relying on various videos posted on social media, Das claims that by reason of his journalistic work, disclosures made in the public interest and political engagement, he has been subjected to violent threats and targeted hostility even in the past.

He has said that repeated disclosure and amplification of his precise residential address creates a real and foreseeable risk of his being subjected to violence at and around his home.

As per him, such a disclosure also places other occupants of the premises at risk and has caused him a grave and continuing apprehension for their safety and security.

He has also alleged that Mitra's representatives have trespassed the shared residential premises where he lives and that videos have been recorded of the portions of his house, including the interiors, and have been published on X.
