Anjana Om Kashyap
New Delhi: Senior journalist and Aaj Tak anchor Anjana Om Kashyap, along with TV Today Network, has filed a civil defamation suit before the Delhi High Court against educator Faisal Khan, popularly known as Khan Sir, and others, seeking Rs 2 crore in damages.
The suit, titled Anjana Om Kashyap & Anr v Faisal Khan & Ors, names Khan Sir, Abhinay Sharma of Abhinay Maths, Babita Tyagi, Arvind Bhadauriya, 4PM news and others as defendants.
According to reports, the suit alleges that the defendants made “scandalous, false, and grossly defamatory” statements against Kashyap after her on-air comments on the growing influence of “star teachers” and online coaching platforms.
The petitioners have alleged that the remarks were part of an online campaign against Kashyap and TV Today Network. The allegedly defamatory content was circulated on platforms including YouTube, Meta and X, according to the suit.
The suit has reportedly referred to expressions such as “bikau patrakar”, “chatukar”, “dalaali” and “fake news ki dukaan”, alleging that such remarks caused reputational harm to Kashyap and the network.
The petitioners have also raised privacy concerns, alleging that certain comments crossed personal boundaries by referring to details related to Kashyap’s daughter.
The suit seeks removal of the allegedly defamatory videos, comments and social media posts from digital platforms. It also seeks directions restraining the defendants from publishing further defamatory material against Kashyap and TV Today Network.
The matter was listed before the vacation bench of Justice Neena Bansal Krishna on June 8. Kashyap had commented on the commercialisation of education and the influence of popular online teachers during a broadcast on Aaj Tak.
