Serum claimed in its suit that the defendants, one Yohan Tengra, his organisation Anarchy for Freedom India, one Ambar Koiri and his organisation Awaken India Movement have been posting and circulating defamatory content against SII.
The suit filed through Parinam Associates emphasized that the defendants had also been posting incorrect information about the legal proceedings where SII was involved.
Their sites were freely accessible without any prior subscription, SII added in its suit.
SII elaborated that the individuals had been posting content alleging that the Covishield, a vaccine produced by SII to prevent spread of recently discovered Coronavirus, was cause of deaths of multiple persons due to side effects.
The posts being released were not only targetting SII but also its Chief Executive Officer Adar Poonawala.
The plea was moved for seeking urgent relief to temporarily restrain the defendants from publishing, circulating any content against SII or its employees.
