A First Information Report (FIR) has been filed by Punjab Police against a YouTube channel for allegedly linking Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Raghav Chadha to wanted man Vijay Mallya.
The AAP candidate for the Ludhiana Lok Sabha seat, Ashok Pappi Prashar’s son, Vikas Prashar, filed a formal complaint against the YouTube channel Capital TV. The complainant held the channel accountable for airing “misleading and defamatory content.”

“The statements/contents of false videos on Capital TV channel and others shall harm the public peace and harmony…and is likely to promote enmity between different groups in the country on grounds of religion, caste, race and community,” reads the complaint.

The channel said that “Vijay Mallya fled to the UK after taking public money, and similarly, a Rajya Sabha member left for England, claiming it was for eye treatment,” according to the FIR.
