Journalist Anjana Om Kashyap and TV Today Network have filed a defamation suit before the Delhi High Court against exam coaching teacher Faisal Khan, also known popularly as Khan sir.

The suit has been filed over his allegedly defamatory remarks against the journalist in reference to her coverage on "star teachers".

Kashyap and the TV Today Network have sought removal of allegedly defamatory comments such as "bikau partaker", chatukar", "dalaali', "fake news dukaan", etc., made by Khan Sir in reference to her coverage on "star teachers".

The matter will be heard tomorrow by a vacation bench of Justice Neena Bansal Krishna.

The controversy arose in view of a live debate on the NEET exam system, when Kashyap allegedly criticized online teachers, calling them "frauds" and "explainers" chasing views. 

The Rs. 2 crore defamation lawsuit seeks the removal of allegedly defamatory material from online social media platforms.
