A Delhi court has summoned YouTuber Dhruv Rathee and others in relation to a defamation lawsuit that the BJP Mumbai unit’s spokesperson, Suresh Karamshi Nakhua, filed.
Dhruv Rathee Said To be An Abusive Troll?
In response to a defamation lawsuit brought by Bhartiya Janata Party Mumbai unit leader Suresh Karamshi Nakhua for allegedly calling YouTuber Dhruv Rathee a violent and abusive troll, the Saket Court of Delhi has summoned Rathee and others.
In an order dated July 19, 2024, District Judge Gunjan Gupta served Rathee and social media intermediaries with a summons of suit and notice of application under 39 Rules 1 and 2 CPC for August 6, 2024. Mukesh Sharma and advocate Raghav Awasthi represented the plaintiff in the case.
The Video Reply
The Youtuber posted a video on his YouTube channel titled “My Reply to Godi Youtubers | Elvish Yadav | Dhruv Rathee” on July 7, 2024, according to the lawsuit. The aforementioned video received over 2.3 million likes and 2,41,85,609 views as of the date the captioned complaint was filed.
Dhruv Rathee allegedly said that Prime Minister Modi had entertained violent and abusive trolls like Ankit Jain, Suresh Nakhua, and Tajinder Bagga at his official residence, according to plaintiff Suresh Karamshi Nakhua. More than 2.3 million people have liked and watched the aforementioned video, with over 24 million views.
The Claims Against Dhruv Rathee
The lawsuit also claimed that since the plaintiff, who is one of the Prime Minister’s followers, is accused of having violent tendencies in the video without any apparent cause or logic, it is obvious that the video is damaging the plaintiff’s reputation.
The plaintiff further claimed that Mr. Dhruv made audacious and unsupported allegations about her in a very provocative and explosive video that went viral on digital media. It argued that the video’s deceptive intent stems from its false assertion that the plaintiff is connected in some way to aggressive and violent troll operations.
Dhruv Rathee’s disparaging remarks in the aforementioned video have seriously harmed the plaintiff’s reputation. According to the lawsuit, the plaintiff’s personal and professional lives have suffered irreversible harm as a result of the false claims made by Dhruv Rathee.
