PUBLIC STATEMENT BY PARANJOY GUHA THAKURTA On the arbitrary takedown of http://paranjoy.in by Hostinger following legal notices from Indiabulls founder Sameer Gehlaut October 31, 2026 On the morning of October 28, 2026, my website http://paranjoy.in and all its associated subdomains, including http://media.paranjoy.in and http://adanifiles.paranjoy.in, were abruptly taken offline by our web hosting provider, Hostinger (HOSTINGER operations, UAB). The website, registered twelve years ago, serves as an online archive of my work over several decades as a journalist, author, publisher, and maker of documentary films and music videos Hostinger gave no prior intimation, warning, or opportunity to respond before suspending the entire hosting account. When my colleague contacted Hostinger “Support” at 6:48 AM on October 28, a hosting “specialist” stated that the suspension was triggered by an abuse report for “Fraud/Scam” and declared that “unsuspension is not negotiable in this case.” This sudden shutdown of an entire repository under the label “Fraud/Scam” happened just days after Sameer Gehlaut, founder of the Indiabulls group, served me with an ex parte court order demanding the removal of a single article published more than seven years on http://Newsclick.in.
