Ajaz Khan Faces Legal Action After Allegations of Sharing “Fake” Objectionable Content on Social Media

The former Bigg Boss contestant and social‑media influencer Ajaz Khan has entered the headlines again, this time for a more serious allegation. A user lodged a formal complaint with the Delhi police that the actor‑turned‑entrepreneur had “shared fake objectionable content” on his social‑media accounts. The police have since registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Khan, setting the legal clock ticking on a case that could have serious ramifications for the celebrity’s public image and business ventures.

Who Is Ajaz Khan?

Ajaz Khan is best known for his stint on the reality‑TV show Bigg Boss (Season 13), which earned him a following of over 5 million followers across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Since the show, Khan has leveraged his fame to launch a series of branded products—ranging from a personal‑care line to a real‑estate portfolio. His marketing strategy often involves frequent posts on social media that showcase lifestyle content, product promotions and occasional “controversial” statements that stir public debate.

Because of his outspoken persona, Khan has already been the subject of multiple online feuds. The latest FIR is just the latest chapter in a career that has oscillated between entrepreneurial success and media controversy.

The Complaint

According to the Republic World article, the complaint was filed by a user named “Asha Singh” (the name is redacted for privacy) who alleged that Khan had posted a short video on his Instagram handle (@ajazkhanofficial) that depicted an “objectionable” scene. The user claimed that the clip was a fabricated version of a real‑life incident that had nothing to do with Khan.

“Khan’s video was a ‘fake’ piece of content that was circulated with the intention of defaming my reputation. I have never authorized or shared such material, and I am demanding an immediate investigation,” the complaint read. The user also attached a screenshot of the purported video, which was later found to have been edited from an unrelated source.

The complaint specifically cites Section 503 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) – which deals with “publishing false statements” that are defamatory – and Section 67 of the Information Technology Act, 2000 (the “IT Act”), which criminalises the uploading of defamatory content on electronic media.

Police Response

The Delhi Police’s response was swift. A spokesperson for the Civil Police, who requested anonymity, confirmed that an FIR had indeed been lodged. The statement, reproduced in the article, read:

“The police have received the complaint and have taken cognizance of the allegations. An investigation will be conducted under the relevant sections of the IPC and the IT Act. If any evidence is found, appropriate legal action will be taken.”

The police also requested the social‑media platform to provide a copy of the alleged video and any related logs that might trace the source of the upload. “We will also contact the user who posted the content, as the police are required to investigate the chain of liability,” the spokesperson added.

Ajaz Khan’s Response

Khan’s legal team quickly released a statement that was shared via a video posted on Khan’s Instagram. The video, which ran for 45 seconds, featured a smiling Khan with the caption, “I am disappointed to see these allegations. I have never shared any fake content.” He also assured followers that he would cooperate with the police:

“We have no knowledge of the content that was posted, and we suspect that it may have been uploaded by a third party using a stolen or compromised account. We are cooperating with the police investigation and will file a counter‑complaint for defamation against the person responsible for these false allegations.”

Khan’s lawyer, who was identified only as “Mr. R. K. Saini”, said that the actor’s legal team would “take strong action to protect his reputation and to seek damages if the allegations are found to be baseless.”

Legal Context and Potential Consequences

If the investigation confirms that Khan did indeed upload the content, the case could result in charges under:

• Section 499 & 500 IPC – for defamation, if the content is proven to damage Khan’s reputation.
• Section 67 IT Act – for uploading false content.
• Section 503 IPC – for publishing a false statement.

Even if Khan is found innocent, the court may award him damages for the defamation suffered. A conviction could also lead to a brief jail term, a fine, or both, depending on the severity and the court’s discretion.

Moreover, the case may damage Khan’s brand collaborations. Advertisers are often wary of associating with personalities embroiled in legal controversies, especially those that revolve around online defamation and fake content.

The Bigger Picture

This case highlights a growing trend in Indian social‑media culture: the fine line between viral marketing and content liability. Celebrities who regularly post unverified or sensationalized content run the risk of being flagged by the police or civil authorities.

Ajaz Khan is not the first celebrity to face such scrutiny. The article referenced earlier controversies involving other Bigg Boss alumni, such as a 2018 defamation lawsuit filed by a former co‑contestant, and a 2020 case where a social‑media personality was penalised for “harassing” a public figure through online posts.

The investigation remains ongoing, and the court’s final verdict will likely set a precedent for how online defamation is treated in India’s rapidly evolving digital landscape.
