Court Bars Abhinav Kashyap From Making 'Derogatory' Comments Against Salman Khan After ₹9 Crore Suit

The court barred Kashyap and others from posting defamatory content about Salman Khan and family, citing harm to reputation and dismissing free speech defense.

  • A Mumbai court temporarily restrained Abhinav Kashyap and others from making or publishing defamatory comments about Salman Khan, with Judge P G Bhosale rejecting free-speech defenses.
  • On the YouTube channel Bollywood Thikana, the complaint says an interview included a photo falsely linking Khan to criminality, damaging his reputation, Khan alleges.
  • With clips circulating on Facebook, Reddit and Instagram, Khan's legal representative says the digital reach amplified harm and seeks a Rs 9 crore damages and injunction.
  • Judge P G Bhosale observed that the court rejected the free‑speech argument and directed the defendants to stop circulating the material until they appear, citing privacy protection.
  • Khan says the defendants sought sensational publicity by deliberately juxtaposing his photograph to threaten and damage his reputation, built over decades, for self-interest.
