Meta vs The Wire

The raids against The Wire cofounders were not related to defamation but to a criminal case filed for cheating, forgery, fraud etc.

Delhi Police raided the house of The Wire founders in connection with an FIR filed by BJP leader Amit Malviya.

The Wire claimed in its complaint against Devesh Kumar that he called and confessed to fabricating the material provided for the Meta stories. The Wire, after Amit Malviya filed civil and criminal proceedings against it, has tried to blame it all on Devesh Kumar.

A complaint has been filed against Devesh Kumar, who was associated with The Wire as a 'consultant', over the fabrication of documents in Meta controversy

In selecting Amit Malviya as a punching bag, The Wire and its editors may have thought they found a juicier soft target than, say, Jay Shah

Amit Malviya said that while Wire has apologised to its readers for the fake Meta story, they have not apologised to him

After being slapped with defamation suit for its Tek Fog and Meta frauds, The Wire issued an apology note, painting themselves as victim of 'deception by their writer'.

The Wire's 'apology' is more of an exercise of getting patted on back for 'owning up' on lapses instead of apologising to those it falsely accused and targeted over fabricated evidence.
