Media conglomerates with ties to prominent business families have filed legal challenges against India’s new privacy law, arguing that its provisions threaten press freedom and the ability of journalists to investigate public interest stories. The dispute centers on restrictions that could limit access to official records and sources, raising concerns about transparency in governance. Critics say the law may force reporters to disclose confidential information, undermining investigative journalism. Legal proceedings are underway as the industry debates the balance between privacy rights and the public’s right to know.
