Supreme Court quashes police request to X asking for months of a journalist’s data
The Supreme Court quashed a notice from the Ghaziabad Crime Branch seeking data from journalist Abhishek Upadhyay's X account for June 1 to August 22, 2026, ruling that police cannot obtain personal information prior to the alleged offence. This decision reinforces the need for safeguards in digital data collection, allowing Upadhyay to seek further legal recourse.
