Mumbai: In a defamation suit filed by actor Salman Khan against Kamaal R Khan, the latter’s advocate made a statement in civil court on Thursday that he “will not put any remarks of defamatory nature against the plaintiff on social media till next date”. The defamation plea will be heard on June 7.

DSK Legal, advocates for Salman Khan and Salman Khan Ventures, said Kamaal R Khan had incorrectly put out a series of tweets and videos alleging that Salman Khan had sued him for defamation as he reviewed the film, Radhe. The statement clarified that the suit has been filed as the defendant Kamaal has been publishing and endorsing defamatory allegations, including that Salman Khan is corrupt and that he and his brand ‘Being Human’ are involved in fraud. “The defendant has been spreading malicious falsehoods and defaming Mr Salman Khan consistently over several months, clearly to draw attention to himself,” the statement said.
