In the suit filed through law firm DSK Legal, Khan has sought injunctive reliefs against the defendants in relation to various social media platforms.
Along with Kakkad, the suit also arraigned other individuals, social media giants like Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube along with their Indian counterparts.
The plea pointed out that Kakkad had attempted to purchase a plot of land beside Khanās farmhouse in Panvel; however that transaction was cancelled by the authorities on the ground that it was illegal.
However, after the said transaction was cancelled, Kakkad started raising false and baseless accusations that the transaction had been cancelled at the behest of Khan and his family members.
In the recent past, Khanās team came across several videos in relation to Khanās farmhouse in Panvel uploaded on the social media accounts of the defendants.
Aggrieved by the same, Khan filed the present suit.
Khan stated in his suit that there is no shred of truth in the defamatory comments made against him.
āComments made by Defendants travel well beyond the scope of fair commentā the suit stated.
