The man was asked to remove the defamatory video, but reportedly, he has refused to comply.

Raveena's lawyer, Sana Raees Khan, said that Shaikh spread false information about Raveena without any proof. The lawyer added that CCTV footage showed the accusations were false, but Shaikh continued to share misleading information online.

"This false news looks like an attempt to damage Raveena's reputation," said Khan. "We are taking legal steps to address this and ensure justice. We support Raveena's right to seek compensation for the harm caused by these false claims."
