A prominent political figure has lodged a complaint against a right-wing influencer, accusing him of misusing his name and making unsubstantiated claims in a video interview. The complaint was filed following a video clip in which the influencer made claims related to an incident during a Citizenship Rights protest held in July.
According to the complaint, the influencer made inflammatory statements that the political leader contends are false and defamatory. The video interview, which circulated on social media platforms, featured the influencer making assertions about an alleged physical confrontation during the protest event.
The complainant has sought action against the influencer, arguing that such statements constitute misuse of his name and reputation. The complaint highlights concerns about unverified claims being propagated through social media channels, particularly by influencers with significant online followings.
The incident reflects broader tensions over the spread of unverified information on digital platforms in India. Authorities have been approached to investigate the matter and determine the veracity of the claims made in the video interview.
