dispute
misrepresentation case
The Malappuram district court wrote to Times Now editor-in-chief Rahul Shivshankar and the show’s former anchor Anand Narasimhan for making false statements about AS Sainaba on the show. According to Ms. Senaba, the comments made on their show had a negative impact on her image. The show talked about a report by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) that said she was involved in converting Hindu girls to Islam. She said it damaged her reputation and she faced severe backlash as a result. She complained that the show tried to associate her with the term “love jihad” used against the Muslim population. Rahul Shivshankar and Anand Narasimhan moved the Kerala High Court seeking dismissal of the proceedings pending against them at the Malappuram Judicial Magistrate Court.
