The matter is likely to be heard this week by the court.
The suit filed against the two news channels and reporters state that they have been using extremely derogatory words like ‘dirt’, ‘scum’, ‘druggies’ and ‘filth’ to call out Bollywood actors. The suit also stated that such terms must not be used in social media either.
Republic TV had recently been in the spotlight for paying people to watch the channel to increase their TRP ratings.
