Union minister Hardeep Puri's daughter moves Delhi HC over allegations of links with Epstein

In her lawsuit seeking Rs 10 crore, Himayani Puri says there was "coordinated and malicious online campaign" to link her to Epstein.

PTI, Mar 16, 2026, New Delhi : Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri's daughter has moved the Delhi High Court for the removal of "false" and "defamatory" social media content linking her to convicted American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The lawsuit by Himayani Puri is likely to be heard in the high court this week.

In her lawsuit seeking Rs 10 crore as damages and an order to restrain several entities from disseminating defamatory content, Himayani Puri said there was a "coordinated and malicious online campaign" to link her to Epstein and his crimes.

She also sought an unconditional apology and retraction from the defendant entities.

"Commencing on or around 22.02.2026, a series of false, misleading and defamatory posts, articles, videos and digital material were published, disseminated and amplified across social media and intermediary platforms including inter alia X, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, digital news portals and other web-based publications," the plea said.

Himayani Puri asserted that she is an accomplished finance and investment professional who is being targeted solely because she is Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Puri's daughter.

According to her lawsuit, the defendants disseminated "baseless imputations" that Himayani Puri maintained direct or indirect business, financial, or personal network links with Epstein.

The allegations are entirely false, malicious, and devoid of factual foundation, the plea said.
