Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has filed a defamation case against a YouTuber named Rashid Siddiqui. In a legal notice sent, Akshay Kumar has demanded Rs 500 crore for connecting his name in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case.
This is not the first time that Rashid Siddiqui is getting involved in spreading fake news related to the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. Earlier, the YouTuber was arrested for spreading fake news and using the name of Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and his son, minister Aditya Thackeray, in connection with the death case that shook Bollywood.
In one of his videos, Siddiqui had alleged that Akshay Kumar was envious about Sushant Singh Rajput’s stardom, and claimed that the Bollywood superstar had conducted several secret meetings with Aditya Thackeray.
In another video, Siddiqui alleged that Akshay Kumar is helping Sushant’s former girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty to escape her to Canada.
Post the Sushant Singh Rajput murder case, Siddiqui had posted several videos on the issue. In this time span, Siddiqui apparently earned Rs 15 lakhs as YouTube revenue, and his subscribers grew from 2 lakh to over 3 lakh.
