Prakash Raj files defamation case against Pratap Simha, seeks compensation of Rs. 1
Mysuru: Actor Prakash Raj has filed a defamation case against Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha in a city court for making derogatory statements against him.
Raj said he had sought a compensation of ₹ 1 from Mr. Simha for allegedly defaming him on social media platforms.
With regard to seeking damages of just one rupee, Mr. Raj said he had not filed the defamation case for the sake of money. He argued that it was to teach to a lesson to persons holding responsible positions in the society and misusing social media platforms for their personal benefit.
Mr. Raj, who has accused Mr. Simha of making defamatory and personal remarks against him in connection with his son’s death, had sent a legal notice. He had threatened to press criminal charges against the MP if the latter does not tender an unconditional apology and remove all the allegedly defamatory posts.
