Defamation report against Ramya: Court slaps Rs 50 lakh-fine on Asianet & Suvarna News
Bengaluru: A Bengaluru court has ordered Asianet News Network and Suvarna News 24x7 to pay Rs 50 lakh to Congress leader Divya Spandana aka Ramya for wrongly linking her to the IPL spot fixing scam in 2013.
Suvarna News 24x7 is a Kannada news channel under the group of Asianet News Network, owned by Rajeev Chandrashekar's Jupiter Capital Ventures.
Ramya was the brand ambassador of IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore from season one to five. The spot fixing case was linked to season six of the IPL. Ramya's counsel told the court that she was not at all actively associated with the sixth season as she was busy campaigning for the assembly elections in Karnataka.
