Ex-Minister Jayaraman, Son Sue YouTube Channels for ₹1 Crore
A former minister and his son are suing eight YouTube channels.
They are asking for money, about one crore rupees, because they believe the channels wrongly connected them to a serious case involving the assault of several women.
They also want the channels to remove the videos and stop making similar claims.
A judge will hear both sides to decide what happens next.
This is due to the Pollachi serial sexual assaults case.
Pollachi V. Jayaraman and son filed a suit in Madras High Court.
The suit seeks ₹1 crore in damages from eight YouTube channels.
The plaintiffs allege the channels linked them to the Pollachi sexual assault case.
They are seeking an injunction to restrain the channels from further associating them with the case.
The hearing was adjourned for a week.
