A Delhi court on Thursday sought a response from the Delhi Police regarding their refusal to register a First Information Report (FIR) against social media platform ‘X’ and streaming giant Netflix over allegations of distributing pornographic and obscene content.

The plea, filed by former Information Commissioner Uday Mahurkar through advocate Vineet Jindal, argues that both platforms are facilitating unrestricted distribution of pornographic material, potentially affecting young audiences.

The petition claimed that this constitutes a violation of multiple Indian laws, including the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, Information Technology (IT) Act and the Indecent Representation of Women Act. The next hearing is scheduled for May 22.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
