The Delhi High Court has strongly criticised actor Richa Chadha and several media platforms for what it termed “digital vigilantism” in connection with a sexual harassment allegation on an IndiGo flight.

The case stems from a March 11 Delhi Mumbai flight incident, where a female journalist accused a co-passenger of inappropriate conduct. Soon after landing, she shared the allegations on social media, revealing the man’s identity, photograph, and workplace details. The post quickly went viral and was amplified by multiple media outlets and public figures, including Chadha.
