Officers spat: Court issues temporary injunction against media house, D Roopa
Bengaluru, Feb 23: A City Court on Thursday issued an interim injunction against nearly 60 media organisations and IPS officer D Roopa against publishing false and defamatory statements against IAS officer Rohini Sindhuri.
The IAS official had approached an Additional City and Sessions Judge seeking an injunction against 59 media organisations and D Roopa.
The court today also issued a summons and emergent notice to one of the media houses, TV9, which had filed a caveat earlier. The media house and Roopa were ordered to file their objections on March 7, 2023.
The summons was also issued to the rest of the defendants and they have to file their objections on March 17, 2023.
Sindhuri alleged that Roopa had obtained details about her from mobile phones illegally and released them in the public domain. The original suit was filed on February 21 days after Roopa posted photos of Sindhuri on her Facebook page alleging that the latter had sent it to three IAS officers. She had also published photos of the IAS officer meeting a Minister.
The posts by Roopa turned embarrassment for the government which transferred the duo on February 21 without allotting new postings.
Roopa's husband IAS officer Munish Moudgil was also transferred. Rohini was the Commissioner for Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments while Roopa was the Director of Karnataka State Handicrafts Development Corporation.

Low visibility prevents PM’s helicopter from landing in Taherpur, Modi returns to Kolkata airport
Kolkata (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s helicopter failed to land at the Taherpur helipad in West Bengal owing to low visibility on account of dense fog in the area on Saturday, an official said.
The PM’s chopper made a U-turn after hovering over the helipad ground for a while and returned to the Kolkata airport, he said.
Till reports last received, the Prime Minister was waiting at the airport for further updates on the weather situation.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Modi would reach the rally venue district by road or whether he would wait for the weather to clear up and make another attempt to reach Taherpur by the aerial route, the official said.
Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister reached Kolkata at around 10.40 am and took a chopper onward to Taherpur in Nadia district, where he is scheduled to hold an administrative programme to launch highway projects in West Bengal, followed by a political rally of the BJP, titled Parivartan Sankalpa Sabha, which he is supposed to address.
