Nikhil Dwivedi files lawsuit against Kamaal R Khan

Nikhil Dwivedi, who impressed everyone with his performance in the acclaimed web series Scam 1992 has dragged Kamaal Rashid Khan aka KRK to court for his slanderous tweets and making baseless allegations against him and his company. After initially ignoring KRK’s posts in September 2020, the Veere Di Wedding (2018) and Dabangg 3 (2019) producer chose the legal route when the latter again started posting defamatory content against him in January this year. Recently, the Bombay High Court ruled in Nikhil’s favour and granted an injunction against KRK from posting anything about the actor-producer, either directly or indirectly.

His lawyer Kartikeya Desai, said, “Our client Mr Nikhil Dwivedi, an actor and producer, has filed a lawsuit against Mr Kamaal R Khan for the slanderous tweets and YouTube videos, which were posted by Mr Kamaal R Khan wherein he had made defamatory statements and also baseless allegations against Mr Dwivedi. The series of tweets and other posts were categorically reproduced in the said suit filed by Mr Dwivedi. The Honourable Court read through the statements made by Mr Kamaal R Khan and recorded that prima facie case has been made out against him and granted ad-interim relief against Mr. Kamaal R Khan and the other Defendants whereby they are restrained from publishing defamatory states as described in the Plaint and/or any other statement (whether written, printed, audio or video) containing the same or similar allegations (as included in the said Acts of Defamation) against the Plaintiff. Any such act hereon will be treated as the contempt of Honourable Court.”
