The notice has highlighted a series of programs carried by Republic TV which are stated to have defamed Ssingh.
The notice points out that in one media segment, a panellist had stated that Ssingh “insisted that the ambulance” carrying Rajput’s body “will go to Cooper hospital” and that Sandeep Ssingh’s PR had clicked a picture to spread in the media.
The notice has asked for the channel to remove all malicious footage, articles and reports about Ssingh and to tender an apology, which should include true facts about Ssingh’s integrity.
Ssingh has also demanded the payment of Rs 200 crores as compensation from Republic TV. If he notice is not adhered to within 15 days, Ssingh has informed that proceedings would be filed in court seeking damages for defamation.
