ANI has filed a defamation suit against YouTuber Mohak Mangal in the Delhi High Court, accusing him of making false claims of extortion and copyright misuse. The suit also includes comedian Kunal Kamra and activist Mohammed Zubair for sharing Mangal’s video, which ANI claims harms its reputation and misuses its trademarks.
