Overview
- Civil Judge P. G. Bhosale on February 9 granted an ad-interim injunction restraining Ajey Nagar (CarryMinati), his manager Deepak Char and others from posting or recirculating alleged defamatory content about Karan Johar.
- The order extends to unnamed ‘John Doe’ re-posters and directs platforms to remove flagged links, with Meta specifically instructed to take down the URLs identified by the plaintiff.
- Johar’s filing says a roast video titled ‘Coffee With Jalan,’ modeled on ‘Koffee With Karan,’ used vulgar language targeting him and that clips continue to circulate as reels and short videos.
- Defense counsel told the court the original uploads were already deleted, disputed the Mumbai court’s jurisdiction, and sought time to verify and respond to Johar’s claims.
- The interim restraints will remain in effect until the court hears and decides Johar’s notice of motion, with Google/YouTube, Meta, and associated entities named as defendants alongside Nagar.
