Advocate Sushil Kumar, on behalf of minister Sanjay Singh, issued a notice to Tej Pratap Yadav demanding removal of alleged defamatory posts, a public apology and compliance within 48 hours, citing a ₹50 crore claim.
Bihar minister Sanjay Singh, represented by advocate Sushil Kumar, has formally served a legal notice to Tej Pratap Yadav. The notice alleges that certain posts made by Yadav are objectionable and defamatory, causing reputational damage to the minister.
The demand outlines three specific actions: immediate removal of the contested content, a public clarification or apology, and a commitment to refrain from making similar allegations in the future. The notice sets a strict 48‑hour deadline for compliance.
Failure to meet the deadline, according to the notice, will trigger a defamation suit seeking damages of up to ₹50 crore. The move underscores the heightened sensitivity around political statements on social media in the state.
Both parties have not yet commented publicly on the dispute, and the matter is expected to be resolved through legal channels if the ultimatum is not honoured.
