The Saket Court in Delhi has permitted senior officials of Google, WhatsApp and Bumble, who are based abroad, to give video‑conference testimony in the ongoing murder investigation of Shraddha Walker.
The Saket Court in Delhi issued an order allowing nodal officials of three major tech platforms—Google, WhatsApp and Bumble—to appear before the bench via video‑conference. The officials, who are stationed outside India, will provide testimony related to the murder investigation of 27‑year‑old Shraddha Walker.
The court’s decision comes as part of the ongoing probe into Walker's death, where digital communications and platform data are considered crucial evidence. By permitting remote testimony, the judiciary aims to streamline the collection of technical inputs without requiring the officials to travel to India.
Legal experts note that such video‑link testimonies are increasingly common in cases involving multinational technology firms, ensuring that investigations can proceed without procedural delays while respecting jurisdictional boundaries.
