Bollywood associations, producers file civil suit against Arnab Goswami, Navika Kumar, others
Over 30 producers and associations file civil suit against media houses for defaming Bollywood
The suit comes after allegations of undue intrusion and sensationalism in the media following the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput
A civil suit has been filed before the Delhi High Court by four Bollywood associations and 34 Bollywood producers against Republic TV, Arnab Goswami and Pradeep Bhandari of Republic TV, Times Now, Rahul Shivshankar and Navika Kumar of Times Now, unknown defendants and social media platforms.
The industry has collectively urged the apex court to direct these media houses and journalists to refrain from “making or publishing irresponsible, derogatory and defamatory remarks against Bollywood as a whole and members of Bollywood” and to restrain them from conducting “media trials of Bollywood personalities and interfering with the right to privacy of persons associated with Bollywood.”
The suit comes after allegations of undue intrusion and sensationalism in the media following the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
The plaintiffs have also prayed that the defendants abide by the provisions of the Programme Code under the Cable Television Networks Rules, 1994, and to “withdraw, recall and take down all the defamatory content published by them against Bollywood,” a joint statement read.
