Superstar Salman Khan has filed a defamation suit against Ketan Kakkar, his neighbour at the Panvel Farmhouse. The star has allegedly accused his neighbour Ketan of defaming Salman in the media. 

It is said, on January 14, Salman’s legal team demanded all the abusive content against him on social networking sites be removed or blocked. Later, the Mumbai City Civil Court, on Friday, January 14, refused to pass any interim restraining order in favour of Salman Khan, who sued a neighbour for alleged defamation.
