'No role in E20 fuel': What Gadkari claimed in suit against X, Meta before Bombay HC The recent decision by the Bombay high court to grant Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari permission to file a civil suit against Meta Platforms, Google LLC, X Corp, and others has shed light on the complexities of digital defamation.
Gadkari's proposed suit claims he had no role in the Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) programme or the E20 initiative.
However, allegations that AI generated deepfakes and manipulated online content have falsely linked Gadkari and his family to financial gains from the EBP programme are at the center of this case.
