Will file Rs 3 cr defamation lawsuit against those spreading false news about me: Ravi Channannavar
Bengaluru: IPS officer Ravi Channannavar issued clarifications concerning the accusations of corruption made against him and said that all the allegations were falsely made against him out of ill-intentions. I have filed a Rs 3 crores defamation lawsuit in the courts in this regard, he said.
“Recently, it has come to my attention that some individuals have been indulging in slandering me and my family with baseless accusations in social media sites. They are all fabrications stemming from ill-intentions”, he informed through his statements.
“The accusations about properties mentioned in social media sites which are in my father and mother’s name are not true. These assets have been inherited, acquired by lawful means. Details about these assets were provided to the Income Tax Department during the same years. However, by saying that I have earned these assets through corrupt means, lies are being propagated against me to defame me on social media sites. Since I am an all India employee, according to the terms of my service, I have not responded to any of this on social media and instead, undertaken the following legal actions”, he said.
1.I have already sent a legal notice through lawyers in a lawful manner. I have not received any response to this.
2.Regarding this, I have filed a 3 crores defamation lawsuit in the respective courts.
3.I will be approaching the respective courts to file a criminal defamation case seeking 2 years of jail term against those indulging in defaming me.
I have complete faith in the judiciary of our country. Until the courts declare their judgments, I request all my dear ones to not believe the false news”, Ravi Channanavar has informed in his statements.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
