The news website The Wire was on Monday forced to take down two articles following a court order in a defamation suit filed by Rajya Sabha Member Rajeev Chandrasekhar.

Chandrasekhar is also the vice chairman of the National Democratic Alliance in Kerala, though he was elected to the Rajya Sabha from Karnataka as an independent.

The Wire took down two articles that involved Chandrasekhar. The first, published on January 25, was a report by Sandeep Bhushan on the Republic TV, a news channel Chandrasekhar is set to launch in association with former Times Now editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami.
