“My client instructs me to inform that there is no iota of truth in any of the programs, interviews attributing obscene contents thereby intending to harm the reputation of my client and also intended to be hurtful to his family,” the legal notice further read.
Rahman’s team has instructed “hatemongers and sharers of abusive contents to remove the objectionable content” in the next 24 hours. People or entities not adhering to the instructions could face fine and/or an imprisonment of a couple of years.
