Wankhede's Defamation Case Against Ba***ds of Bollywood Dismissed
Sameer Wankhede, an IRS officer, filed a defamation case against the producers of the web series The Ba***ds of Bollywood.
He claimed that the series insulted him and damaged his reputation.
The Delhi High Court dismissed the case because it didn't have the authority to hear it in Delhi.
Wankhede said he will take the case to the right court and continue fighting for justice.
He also mentioned that the series was made to target him and that he would donate any compensation to a cancer hospital.
The court said Wankhede can still take his complaint to the appropriate legal forum.
