Kunal Kamra tells Bombay HC on Sahyog Portal: ‘Worse situation if ordinary policemen orders content takedown’

What Happened

Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra challenged the Sahyog Portal and 2025 IT Rules amendment in Bombay High Court, arguing they violate freedom of speech. He stated ordinary policemen could order content takedowns deemed objectionable. The portal allows government officials to remove social media content without following mandated procedures. Kamra argued the portal grants unchecked power to thousands of government officers with no remedy against arbitrary takedowns, violating Article 19(2) of the Constitution.
