The video was reposted by Iyer-Mitra, the lawyer alleged.Das has sought damages of more than Rs 2 crore for alleged violations of his privacy, dignity and security, Live Law reported.The posts on X that showed Das’ address had been removed, Live Law reported. However, the lawyer urged that the posts, removed by X under the platform’s policy, should not be restored.The suit also asks the court to stop the defendants from publishing, sharing or disclosing his residential address, and to remove videos and posts containing the information from public access.Further, Das has sought directions to platforms X and Google to take down such content, and prevent the information from disseminating further.The suit states that the video posted by The Pamphlet showing his residential address received more than 2.1 million views and was reposted on August 10, Bar and Bench reported.Das has further alleged that Iyer-Mitra disclosed his address during a Law Beat programme by identifying his neighbour. The commentator also incorrectly stated that the rent was about Rs 7 lakh per month, he alleged.The Cockroach Janta Party spokesperson said that he filed a police complaint on August 5 and told the defendants about the security risks posed by their disclosure, but said the information continued to be shared.He said that the repeated sharing of his residential details, along with previous violent threats against him, increased the risk of hostile persons finding his home and put him, his family and other residents at risk of “intimidation, harassment and physical violence”, Bar and Bench reported.The matter will be heard next on September 14.Edited by Nachiket Deuskar.
