According to the ANI report, the lawsuit also claims that a video unfairly portrays the plaintiff as violent in connection with the Prime Minister. This suggests that the video could significantly harm how ordinary people view the plaintiff.

The plaintiff also said that Dhruv made bold and unsupported accusations against him in a highly provocative video that quickly spread online. According to the ANI, the video's harmful intent lies in baselessly suggesting that the plaintiff is involved in violent and abusive online behavior.

As per the ANI report, because of Dhruv Rathee's defamatory statements in the video, the plaintiff's reputation has suffered greatly. The false accusations have led to widespread criticism and mockery of the plaintiff, causing serious damage to both his personal and professional life, according to the suit.
