Vivek Agnihotri’s unconditional apology filed in the form of an affidavit, over his remarks against justice S Muralidhar, has not been accepted by the Delhi High Court, who asked the filmmaker to appear in person and express remorse. “Does he have any difficulty if he has to express remorse in person? The remorse cannot always be expressed by way of an affidavit,” the bench told his lawyer. ‘The Kashmir Files’ director had tweeted against justice S Muralidhar in 2018, who was then a judge of the Delhi high court and is now the Orissa high court chief justice. The filmmaker stated that he has deleted his comments from social media but the amicus curiae told the court that it was Twitter that had removed the tweets. Whatever be the truth, Delhi HC is not letting this criminal contempt case get over without seeing the filmmaker in person.
