“You also alleged that our client was advised to run away after Mohbad’s death so as not to be suspected regarding the death.

“Your actions are deliberate to injure and traduce the integrity of our client, who is a rising star in the music industry. Your allegations in the interview have negatively impacted the affection and love enjoyed by our client from his fans and well-wishers around the world.”
