The actor filed the case in wake of a defamatory campaign against him following the first episode of Satyamev Jayate 2
Bollywood star
Aamir Khan has
registered a complaint with the Mumbai police in the wake of a
defamatory campaign against him on social networking website Facebook.
The “malicious messages are wrong and baseless”, he has said.
Aamir Saturday met Mumbai Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria and Joint
commissioner (law and order) Sadanand Date. The officials have assured
swift investigation and action. The Cyber Cell of the Crime Bureau will
investigate the case, said an official statement.
Aamir made his TV debut with “Sataymev Jayate” (SMJ) in May 2012 and
the show, dealing with sensitive social issues like female feticide,
domestic violence and child abuse, received a warm welcome from the TV
viewers after it went on air on Star Plus. Some of the episodes dealing
with female feticide and malpractices in medical field recorded the
highest ratings.
He launched the second season March 2 on STAR India channels with a
sensitive issue of rape, and the second episode, beamed Sunday, talked about police force.
It has been alleged in the messages on social networking site
(https://www.facebook.com/AwakIND/posts/10151964856603531?stream_ref=10)
that that when at the end of the show, Aamir asks for donations for
Humanity Trust, the money is used for masjid construction assistance and
placement assistance for Muslim youth.
Aamir took to his Facebook page and clarified that he is associated
with Humanity Trust, Hanspukur, West Bengal, not the other Humanity
Trust.
“False and malicious messages are circulating through various
electronic media. including WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter and other social
media networks, alleging that donations are being sought in my
television program ‘Satyamev Jayate’ Season 2, in relation to an entity
by the name of Humanity Trust, which is claimed to be working in the
field of Masjid Construction Assistance and placement assistance for
Islamic youngsters. This is entirely false,” Aamir said in his March 7
post on https://www.facebook.com/aamirkhan.com.
“I would like to clarify that ‘Satyamev Jayate’, in Season 1 was
associated with Humanity Trust, Hanspukur, West Bengal, a charitable
hospital run by Ajoy Mistry and his mother Subhashini Mistry. Humanity
Trust, Hanspukur, West Bengal, is doing excellent work in the field of
health care and provides free medical facilities to the poor. More
information can be found on their website www.humanityhospital.org and
our
websitehttp://www.satyamevjayate.in/every-life-is-precious/humanity-trust.aspx.
”
“Please note that Humanity Trust, Hanspukur, has nothing to do with
Humanity Trust referred to in the malicious messages. I would like to
clarify that all donations sought in SMJ are used and channelized for
entirely deserving and secular causes, contrary to the content of the
highly mischievous/malicious insinuations in the messages, being
circulated by vested and unscrupulous interest.”
“These malicious messages are entirely false, wrong and baseless. I
categorically deny that SMJ has anything to do with Humanity Trust as
stated in the malicious messages or that we have called for donations in
the name of the said entity. I urge the members of the public to
disregard the said malicious message,” he wrote.
He also urged viewers to seek information on all NGOs featured on the show on websitewww.satyamevjayate.in.
