The Kerala High Court has directed Meta to provisionally restore the Facebook account of veteran journalist N Madhavan Kutty, which was blocked following a Kerala Police request over a post on the Delhi blasts.Justice Ziyad Rahman AA, hearing the plea on July 31, said: “Going by the documents produced before this Court, it is seen that only in respect of some of the contents the entire account itself is blocked. Therefore, I am prima facie of the view that the respondents have exceeded their powers,” the court said.
Madhavan Kutty, a former editor of the New Indian Express, had shared a Malayalam newspaper clipping on the Delhi blasts on November 11, 2025, with a comment saying: “The plan to polarise Hindu-Muslim votes in the first phase of the Bihar polls has fallen flat. This could be an attempt by vested interests.”
