Dhruv Rathee Faces Defamation Suit Over Video on Lord Ram and Goddess Sita
A defamation suit has been filed against YouTuber Dhruv Rathee at Delhi's Saket District Court over a video alleging that Lord Ram and Goddess Sita consumed meat and alcohol during their exile. The suit, seeking damages and an injunction, follows the Delhi High Court's earlier order to remove the original video from YouTube. After a three-minute excerpt was re-uploaded, fresh legal proceedings were initiated. The court has adjourned the hearing to November 5 due to technical issues during the virtual session.
