The Delhi High Court has ordered Trinamool Congress leader Saket Gokhale to pay ₹50 lakh in damages to former diplomat Lakshmi Puri for defamatory tweets. The court also instructed Gokhale to publish an apology in The Times of India and on his Twitter handle. Gokhale had previously made allegations on Twitter about a property Puri allegedly purchased in Switzerland and questioned her and her husband's assets. The court had previously issued an interim order in July 2021, directing Gokhale to remove the defamatory tweets and restraining him from posting further defamatory content about the Puris.
