Fil-Indian entrepreneur sues estranged wife

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

Complainant Chandiramani, in his five-page complaint affidavit, 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 (libel) of the Revised Penal Code “for 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. The subject of the complaint was Narwani’s social media posts dated 22 October and 25 November 2025.

The complaint stated that 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, granting her divorce petition against the complainant.

On 25 November, Narwani posted a string of Instagram Stories claiming that several criminal cases were filed against her fiancé after she posted the final judgment of her divorce with Chandiramani.

Narwani also claimed that her family and fiancé were being threatened, but did not mention names.

Chandiramani stressed that while Narwani never explicitly named him, the divorce certificate she posted identified him as the defendant.

The complaint read: “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.”
