A court in Gujarat's Mundra in Kutch area on Tuesday gave a capture warrant against senior writer Paranjoy Guha Thakurta in a slander suit recorded by the Adani Group.

He further said the Adani Group had removed grievances against everyone, including the manager however not against the creator.
"The magazine (which distributed the article) isn't answerable (for criminal slander), the body of evidence against co-writer has been removed however you don't pull out the grumbling against the writer," he said. "We have moved a release application."
