- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,November 20 2020]
Akshay Kumar has filed a Rs 500 crore defamation notice against a YouTuber for making false and baseless allegations against him in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. The Youtuber identified as Rashid Siddiqui from Bihar uploaded several videos misleading people by spreading fake news about him and several other celebrities.
In one of Rashid's videos, the Youtuber alleged that Akshay Kumar helped actress Rhea Chakraborty abscond to Canada and that he had secret meetings with Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray and the Mumbai police Commissioner to discuss the death case of Sushant Singh Rajput.
Apart from booking the Youtuber in a defamation case, the Bollywood superstar also sought removal of objectionable videos regarding him from his channel and desist from uploading such clips in the future.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai police have separately filed a case against Siddiquee on charges of defamation, public mischief and intentional insult for his posts against the city police, Maharashtra government and minister Aaditya Thackeray.
Rajput was found dead in his suburban Bandra apartment on June 14. Rhea Chakraborty, the late actor's girlfriend, was arrested by the NCB in a drug case related to Rajput's death. The actress is now out on bail.
