Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri’s daughter Himayani Puri has approached the Delhi High Court seeking the removal of what she calls “false” and “defamatory” social media content linking her to convicted American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. ADVERTISEMENTIn the petition, Himayani Puri alleged that a “coordinated and malicious online campaign” was launched to connect her name with Epstein and the crimes linked to him. According to the petition, the posts circulated across multiple platforms and were repeatedly amplified online. The plea further alleged that several defendants circulated “baseless imputations” claiming she had direct or indirect business, financial or personal links with Epstein. "The allegations are entirely false, malicious and devoid of factual foundation," the plea said.
