Filing a defamation suit seeking damages of ₹1 crore, Mr. Arun accused the YouTuber of giving a false impression to the people as if he possessed confidential, authentic, and inside information concerning senior police officers, politicians, public servants, businessmen, corporate entities, and others in positions of responsibility, though he actually presents falsehood as facts.
