Salman Khan demands apology from ANI for alleged defamatory article
Mumbai: Bollywood actor Salman Khan has filed a legal notice demanding an apology from Asian News International (ANI) for an alleged defamatory article.. The article, published on September 4, 2024, includes comments from Amit Mishra, the lawyer representing Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal—two individuals accused in the firing incident outside Khan’s residence.
The article reportedly suggests that Gupta and Pal have been threatened by members of the underworld, specifically mentioning connections to gangster Dawood Ibrahim’s D-Company, and add that Khan has “known links” with a gangster and perhaps want to get Pal and Gupta killed, as reported by Live Law on Thursday.
Khan's legal team has contended that these allegations are “absolutely false,” "misguided," and "misconceived," asserting that the actor is a victim of the criminal act that was perpetrated upon him by certain individuals. The notice emphasised that the allegations were made with an intent to tarnish Khan’s image and reputation.
The notice highlighted that the allegations made in the published article constitute both a criminal offence under Section 356 (defamation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and is also a civil act of tortuous wrong defamation, Live Law added.
Khan has requested an unconditional apology from ANI and Mishra within 48 hours and has called for the removal of the article from the agency’s website.
