Gujarat police ‘seize’ journalist Ravi Nair’s devices
The police act on a search warrant issued by a magistrate court
On August 17, 2026, the Gujarat police reportedly executed a search warrant and seized various devices from the residence of independent journalist Ravi Nair. The warrant was issued by a magistrate court, prompting the police to confiscate Nair's laptop, iPad, and mobile phones. Additionally, police also seized a laptop and iPad belonging to Nair's colleague, Sachi Hegde, who was present at the time of the search.
The police conducted searches at Nair's residences in Kerala and Delhi, with the latter seizing his son's laptop. The warrant followed a First Information Report (FIR) registered against Nair in October 2025, alleging forgery following a complaint about a news report on the Adani Group. Nair was reportedly in Kerala when the searches took place.
