Transport Minister Anil Parab has sought an unconditional apology from Mr. Somaiya and a permanent injunction against him from making defamatory statements
After sending a defamation notice, Shiv Sena leader and Maharashtra’s Transport Minister Anil Parab has filed a defamation suit for ₹100 crore in the Bombay High Court against BJP leader Kirit Somaiya for making malicious and malafide statements against him.
Mr. Parab has sought an unconditional apology from Mr. Somaiya and a permanent injunction against him from making defamatory statements.
“On June 10, 2021, Mr. Somaiya tweeted about Mr. Parab with respect to some construction at Dapoli, Ratnagiri, which was defamatory. On September 3, 2021, he again tweeted that Mr. Parab is engaged in criminal activities. After a series of tweets, on September 14, 2021, Mr Parab issued a legal notice to Mr. Somaiya and asked him to delete the defamatory tweets and tender an apology. However, since he did not respond to the notice, the suit has been filed,” says the suit.
