It is further submitted that visual representations of the impugned video hold crucial importance in determining the veracity of the allegations levied by the Plaintiff. However, Plaintiff deliberately, with conscious mind, refrained from bringing the visual representation of the alleged defamatory portion of the impugned video from the knowledge of this Hon’ble Court with the sole intention to mislead and obtain favourable order. Moreover, in order to show false urgency and injury, the Plaintiff has sought ex-parte ad interim relief,” Rathee's reply stated.Nakhua’s post, which Rathee referred to in the video, read, “@gsurya U ass***** bit** Did I abuse u? U confirmed tht u r product of a rape i.e. Balatkar ki paidaish.”.Delhi court summons Dhruv Rathee in defamation case by BJP leader.Rathee has made the submission in his response to a plea for an interim injunction against him in the defamation suit filed by Nakhua.Nakhua has objected to Rathee referring to him (Nakhua) as a “violent and abusive” troll.
