The Delhi High Court on Monday issued notices and summons to commentator Abhijit Iyer Mitra , and various law portals and media platforms on a privacy plea filed by Cockroach Janta Party spokesperson Saurav Das. The CJP leader has sought action against them for allegedly putting his residential details in public domain.
He claimed that Mitra subsequently published multiple posts containing the alleged personal information. In his suit, in which he has sought ₹ 2 crore in damages, Das, represented by senior advocate Akhil Sibal, alleged that he had been residing in a rented property in Greater Kailash since early 2025 and that representatives of The Pamphlet had trespassed onto the premises, recorded its interiors and subsequently published the footage on X on August 5. The video, the suit said, garnered more than 2.1 million views and was republished on August 10. Das further alleged that Mitra disclosed details of his residence during a programme hosted by LawBeat, identifying his neighbour and incorrectly stating that the monthly rent was around ₹ 7 lakh.
