Mumbai: Bollywood actor Salman Khan on Friday told the Bombay High Court that the videos uploaded on social media about him by his Panvel farmhouse neighbor Ketan Kakkar are not only defamatory in nature, but also communally tainted. There are provocateurs too. A single bench of Justice CV Bhadang is hearing an appeal by Khan. The actor has filed this appeal challenging the March 2022 order of a civil court. The civil court had refused to grant relief to Kakkar in the defamation suit filed by him on behalf of the actor.

The lawsuits filed against Kakkar pertain to a video uploaded by him on social media about Khan’s illegal activities at the actor’s farmhouse in Panvel. Khan had also requested the court to direct Kakkar to remove the defamatory video and stop making such remarks in the future.

When the civil court refused to pass any such order, the actor moved the high court. On Friday, Khan’s lawyer Ravi Kadam argued that the civil court’s order was erroneous. Kadam said, “The videos uploaded by Kakkar are speculative. They are not only defamatory, but they also communally provoke those who watch it against Salman Khan. ,

Reading the script of the video, Kadam said that Kakkar had spoken about how Khan was trying to grab a Ganesh temple (in Panvel near his farmhouse). Kadam said, “In the video, the respondent (Kakkar) compared Salman Khan with Babar and Aurangzeb. He (Kakkar) said that it took 500 years to build a temple in Ayodhya and Salman Khan is trying to shut down a Ganesh temple here. ,

The senior advocate argued, “These videos were viewed by lakhs of people, who then posted their remarks against Salman Khan. This is clearly to incite the audience against Salman. The video gave communal color to everything and made it Hindu vs Muslim.

While making several remarks, Kakkar has also alleged that Salman Khan has links with underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. Kadam said, “Kakkar has alleged that Salman is involved in drug smuggling, human organ smuggling and child smuggling from his farmhouse.”

After hearing brief arguments in the matter, the bench fixed August 22 for further hearing. Kakkar, through his lawyers Abha Singh and Aditya Singh, had claimed in the trial court that the actor had filed a defamation suit against him to pressurize him to give up his (Kakkar’s) land.
