India Probes Website Blocks Allegedly Based on Forged Court Orders
India is investigating website blocks that were reportedly initiated using forged court orders, with police seeking related logs.
Bend, OR, November 12, 2026 —
Authorities in India have launched an investigation into a series of website blocks that were allegedly initiated through the use of forged court orders. The probe is reportedly underway as law enforcement agencies are seeking relevant logs to understand the scope and origins of these actions.
The investigation centers on claims that judicial directives, which typically authorize the blocking of specific online content or websites, were not legitimately issued. Instead, reports suggest these orders may have been fabricated, leading to the subsequent disruption of access to certain online platforms.
Details regarding the specific websites targeted, the entities that allegedly submitted the forged orders, or the precise timeline of these events were not immediately available. Police are reportedly attempting to gather digital records and communication logs that could shed light on how these purported forged court orders were generated and acted upon.
The process of blocking websites in India typically involves directives from government bodies to internet service providers (ISPs). These directives are usually based on legal frameworks, including court orders, to address issues such as national security, public order, or the prevention of illegal activities. The current investigation suggests a potential misuse of this process.
Further updates are anticipated as the police continue their efforts to collect and analyze the necessary logs. The outcome of this investigation could have implications for online content regulation and the security of digital judicial processes in the country.
