CHENNAI, MAY 15
Excise and Electricity Minister V Senthil Balaji has filed four defamation cases against political commentator Savukku Shankar at the Saidapet court in Chennai on Monday. The petition was filed by advocates P Wilson and Richardson Wilson. It said that Shankar had defamed Balaji through various videos, interviews and posts on social media.
According to the complainant, A Shankar, a vlogger, in his interviews with various digital media (YouTube Channels) said that the complainant would topple the Tamil Nadu government like Eknath Shinde in Maharashtra as the ruling party DMK is frustrated with the complainant. Therefore, the complainant prayed the court to issue the process and proceed against A Shankar and punish him for the offences under Section 499 and 500 of Indian Penal Code (IPC) and pass such order.
