Beginning in July 2024, Asian News International (ANI) sued Wikipedia for ₹2 lakh, alleging defamatory allegations on its page, sparking a legal spat with the Wikimedia Foundation. Under judicial pressure, Wikipedia complied when the Delhi High Court mandated that it reveal editor identities. Later on, the Supreme Court got involved opposing ANI’s attempt to censor a Wikipedia entry on the lawsuit. ANI alleges ₹15 crore in reputation damage; Wikipedia argues for its volunteer approach, pointing out in February 2025 78% of India-related edits were anonymous. The case begs questions about digital platform control, privacy, and free expression in India.
