A Filipino-Indian business entrepreneur, Rajiv Chandiramani, filed a cyber libel complaint against his estranged wife over a series of Instagram posts implying he was responsible for filing baseless charges against her new partner.

In his five-page complaint affidavit, Chandiramani sought the prosecution of Vicki Narwani for violation of Section 4 (c)(4) of Republic Act 10175, or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, in relation to Articles 353 and 355 of the Revised Penal Code. He accused her of “deliberately posting, public, malicious and defamatory statements tending to cause dishonor and damage” to his reputation.

The complaint was filed before the Office of the Prosecutor in Marikina City.

Subject of the complaint were Narwani’s social media posts dated 22 October 2025 and 25 November 2025.

According to the complaint, on 22 October 2025 Narwani posted a photo of the certificate of final judgment issued by the Family Justice Courts of the Republic of Singapore on 30 November 2022, which granted her divorce petition against Chandiramani.

On 25 November 2025, Narwani posted several Instagram Stories claiming that criminal cases had been filed against her fiancé after she made public the final judgment of her divorce with Chandiramani. She also claimed that her family and fiancé were being threatened, though she did not identify anyone by name.

Chandiramani argued that, although Narwani did not explicitly mention him, the divorce certificate she posted identified him as the defendant.

The complaint stated: “Vicki’s defamatory Instagram posts alluded to Rajiv as the person who caused the filing of supposed ‘baseless’ and ‘false’ criminal cases against her fiancé. And that he supposedly threatened her fiancé and her family.”

It added: “Alluding that Rajiv has filed false and baseless cases against Vicki’s fiancé carries a negative connotation, suggesting unscrupulous or corrupt behavior and imputes that he has a proclivity in maliciously initiating baseless litigation, which is an ascription of the commission of a crime."

Chandiramani said Narwani’s posts were clearly intended to damage his reputation.

The Fil-Indian complainant is the owner of Rheana’s Trading Inc., a domestic company engaged in buying, selling, distributing, and importing electronic products and accessories. He married Narwani, a Singaporean-Indian national, in 2013, and they have one son.

Chandiramani also alleged that Narwani moved their son to Dubai under “false pretenses” in mid-2025 and has since restricted his access, even bringing their son around her new fiancé—something he finds unacceptable.

The City Prosecutor’s Office will determine whether Narwani’s posts constitute criminal cyber libel or fall within the bounds of personal expression.
