A Delhi court has issued summons to YouTuber Dhruv Rathee and two others in a civil defamation case filed by Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) Mumbai unit spokesperson Suresh Nakhua for allegedly referring to him as a part of “violent and abusive trolls”.
Nakhua, an official spokesperson of BJP Mumbai, sought Rs.20 lakh in damages from Rathee for referring to him as a part of “violent and abusive trolls” in his YouTube video titled “My Reply to Godi Youtubers | Elvish Yadav” uploaded on July 7, 2024.
Issuing notice to Rathee, social media platform X, and Google, District Judge Gunjan Gupta of the Saket Court posted the matter for further hearing on August 6.
Advocates Raghav Awasthi and Mukesh Sharma appeared for Nakhua.
In his suit, the BJP leader said that false accusations made by Rathee on cyberspace have caused irreparable loss of his personal and professional reputation and led to his defamation.
Rathee, in the alleged defamatory video, claimed that the Prime Minister had hosted violent and abusive trolls like Nakhua and others at his official residence.
