Olympic medallist Mary Kom’s ex-husband Onler Kom has initiated criminal defamation proceedings against the boxer, alleging she made disparaging and damaging statements about him on television and other public platforms.
The matter is sub judice, so I won’t comment any further,” he said. Because he wanted to avoid further conflict, a source close to Onler said he initially chose not to pursue the matter. Because he only wanted to live peacefully, “Initially, he thought he would let it go. Because he has been haunted and hounded by these false allegations,” the source said, he is now seeking an apology and damages from Mary Kom for what he believes were baseless allegations.
“I have a strong case. I have faith in the judicial system of India. But his family and friends also started asking him if any of those allegations were true. Mary is currently participating in a reality television show, Bigg Boss.
“Onler had been considering legal action ever since Mary made disparaging statements against him on a TV show and later on other platforms as well,” a source said.
