Calcutta High Court orders removal of documentary on Adani and Modi

Neutral summary
An Indian court ordered the takedown of an online documentary by Hotmail co-founder Sabeer Bhatia accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and billionaire Gautam Adani of cronyism. Adani Enterprises sued in the High Court in Kolkata, calling the film defamatory and riddled with false content, and said it prompted inquiries from some investors. The court's interim order, in force until Jan 31, 2027, requires YouTube, X and Meta's Instagram to remove several posts of the 36-minute film, "The Friendship Files", and restrains Bhatia from disseminating it. Bhatia said the lawsuit demands 500 million rupees in damages and wrote, "Truth is on my side." Adani Enterprises, Modi's office and Bhatia did not respond to requests for comment. Police in Maharashtra had sent a takedown notice on Oct 19, saying the content made serious unsubstantiated allegations. The Indian government and the Adani group deny favouritism, and opposition figures have shared the film. Hearings are likely to resume in January.
Where accounts differ. The South China Morning Post article is a shorter excerpt that omits the damages claim, Bhatia's comments, and the Maharashtra police notice, which appear only in bdnews24.com and The Financial Express.

About this method
Method. Bias types follow the Table of Media Bias Elements and the Media Bias Taxonomy (both CC BY 4.0). The impartiality rules follow the BBC Editorial Guidelines and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. The score is calculated from the seven answers, never generated.
What this is not. No outlet gets a standing bias rating, and there is no left/right axis, because that axis does not describe Bangladeshi politics. Each analysis covers one article about one event. Members' analytics count how each outlet's headlines were labelled over a chosen period, with the number of headlines behind every share, and also show the average score of an outlet's scored articles: that average describes those articles (mostly each story's lead), not the outlet, and outlets are never ranked by it or by any share.
Known limits. Headlines are grouped into stories automatically, so an unrelated headline sometimes slips in; it is shown faded rather than hidden. Where outlets carry the same wire copy, the comparison has little to show. Human annotators agree on bias in Bangla news only moderately (κ = 0.574 at best), which limits what any automated score can claim.
