File picture | Photo Credit: The Hindu The Delhi High Court on Wednesday (April 8, 2026) termed certain tweets by journalist Rana Ayyub “highly derogatory, inflammatory and communal” as it sought her stand on a petition seeking removal of the allegedly objectionable content from social media. Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav, who was hearing a lawyer’s petition alleging that Ms. Ayyub’s tweets insulted Hindu Deities and “revered historical figures”, observed that even an FIR was also directed to be registered against her in relation to the tweets and called upon the Centre, Delhi Police and X to “work in tandem” and “do the needful in 24 hours”.
