Sameer Wankhede, Wife Move Court Over 'Defamatory' Content Against Them On Social Media
Sameer Wankhede and Kranti Redkar filed a suit against the social media companies to restrain them from hosting “unsubstantiated and baseless posts”
New Delhi: Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede and his wife Kranti Redkar approached the Bombay Civil Court at Dindoshi on Friday seeking direction against social media platforms such as Facebook/Meta, Google and Twitter to restrain from publishing defamatory content against them.
As reported by Indian Express, Sameer Wankhede and Kranti Redkar filed a suit against the social media companies to restrain them from hosting “unsubstantiated and baseless posts” against Wankhede, Redkar and any of their relatives on any of the channels hosted by these social media platforms. The petition further stated to seek action against these platforms under the Information Technology Act, 2000.
The suit is scheduled to be heard on December 17.
In a loggerhead between Wankhede and Maharashtra’s Minority Affairs Minister Nawab Malik over the drugs-on-cruise case over the past months, Nawab alleged that ever since his expose on Sameer Wankhede and the “farzi” (fraudulent) rave party raid on the Cordelia Cruise, he and his family was being ‘shadowed’ by some suspicious unknown person.
"They are making inquiries about my family, my grandchildren, my own movements, clicking pictures of my home and offices... Last week, when I travelled abroad (Dubai), they had come again, but were given a hot chase by some people in my locality as they took unauthorised photos of my home," said Malik as reported by news agency IANS.
Nawab Malik has been targeting the NCB Zonal Director over the last few months on multiple counts which included "fake raid" on the cruise ship, targeting high-profile personalities to derive maximum publicity, extortion demand from Shah Rukh Khan to release his son Aryan Khan in the drug bust case and others.
