Supreme Court of India orders Wikipedia to remove trainee doctor rape victim's name and images.

The Supreme Court of India has ordered Wikipedia to remove the name and images of a trainee doctor who was raped and murdered in Kolkata. This directive follows previous orders to eliminate the victim's identity from all media, emphasizing that Indian law protects rape victims’ anonymity. Despite the court's requests, Wikipedia has not complied, with the court asserting that this action is about safeguarding the victim's dignity, not censorship.
