The suit, titled Omar Rashid v. X & Ors., has been filed days after the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) closed, after over 300 days, its own inquiry into the same posts, finding no grounds for the Delhi Police to proceed against Rashid.
The controversy dates back to May 21 and 22, 2025, when anonymous social media posts accused Rashid, then with The Wire, of rape and forcing a woman to eat beef, wrapping the allegations in a communal and political narrative around Kashmir.
