Overview
- Motwani has asked a Mumbai sessions court for Rs 2 crore in damages, a public apology, and an order stopping James from making more statements.
- The suit claims James posted false domestic violence allegations to dodge repayment of an alleged Rs 27 lakh loan taken during her marriage to Motwani’s brother.
- James responded on Instagram on Saturday, denying she received any legal notice and urging media to verify the reports.
- James had earlier filed an FIR on December 18, 2024, accusing Motwani and family members of cruelty and harassment and saying stress from the marriage led to Bell’s Palsy.
- Motwani denies involvement, has sought to quash the FIR in the Bombay High Court where notice has been issued, and is also pursuing a separate criminal defamation case in an Andheri magistrate’s court.
