allegations against social media
According to Himayani, allegations are being made against him at many places on social media since February 22, 2026. It is being said that he had direct or indirect business, financial, personal or any other relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Also linked to his crimes.
They also alleged that Realm Partners LLC, where Himayani worked, received funding, economic benefits or misappropriation from Epstein or his associates. Along with a person named Robert Millard, he played a role in bringing down a big bank, Lehman Brothers.
Said- the allegations are malicious
Himayani says that all these allegations are completely false, malicious and there is no evidence of any kind against them. It is written in his case that some people (defendant no. 1 to 14 and many unknown people) have deliberately spread these false things. They want to incite anger among people by using edited videos, misleading captions and fake thumbnails. This has hurt his honor by going viral on social media.
It has been said in the case that he is being targeted as part of a well-planned conspiracy in India and around the world. Just because she is the daughter of Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri.
Jethmalani prepared the case
It is also written in the case that Himayani is a very successful and self-reliant professional woman but only because her father is a cabinet minister, she is being attacked so badly.
This case has been prepared by senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani. It has been filed by lawyers Shantanu Agarwal, Madhulika Rai Sharma, Manas Arora and Syed Hamza Gayur of Lexster Law LLP.
