Raveena Tandon Files Defamation Case Against Journalist Who 'Attempted to Tarnish' Her Reputation By Posting Road Rage Video Online
Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon, cleared of road rage by police, sent a defamation notice to the journalist who spread the false video on social media.
Raveena Tandon found herself at the centre of a controversy in early June after a road rage incident in Bandra, Mumbai. A man accused her driver of hitting his mother and further claimed that Tandon herself, allegedly intoxicated, assaulted him and his family members. However, days later, she was given a clean chit by police. The accusation gained traction after a video of the incident, filmed by a person claiming to be a freelance journalist, went viral on social media. Now, as per Hindustan Times, the actress has sent a defamation notice to the journalist who posted the video on X.

However, a person, claiming to be a journalist, is disseminating false information on X regarding the said incident, which is factually incorrect and misleading."
