Orissa HC Junks Varsha’s Plea to Stop Anubhav’s Social Media Posts

Cuttack: A petition filed by actress Varsha Priyadarshini urging for the court’s intervention to stop her actor-turned-politician husband Anubhav Mohanty from posting negative remarks about her on social media was rejected by the Orissa High Court on Wednesday.

Varsha’s plea before Orissa High Court requested to stop the ‘fake and hate’ campaigns taken up by her husband against her on social media. She alleged that although their marital tussle is sub-judice in a family court in Cuttack, the videos being shared by her actor-turned-politician husband on social media platforms were attempts to defame her.

Varsha also requested the court to order for removal of previous posts of Anubhav about her from social media platforms. But the Orissa High Court preferred to reject her petition.

Earlier, the Court had restrained both Anubhav and his wife Varsha from posting anything on social media against each other. But in the recent decision, Orissa High Court rejected Varsha’s petition by saying that it is the fundamental right of Anubhav and the court can’t interfere with it.

Varsha has also filed two police complaints at Purighat police station and Cyber police station in Cuttack alleging that Anubhav through his posts on social media was defaming her.
