London, December 11, 2025: YouTuber Adil Raja has publicly apologised to Brigadier (Retd) Rashid Naseer after a London court ruled against him in a high-profile defamation case.
In a statement to the media, Adil Raja confirmed that the court had ordered him to pay £50,000 in damages to Brigadier (Retd) Rashid Naseer. Additionally, the court imposed £260,000 in legal costs, significantly raising the financial penalty against him.
Raja admitted that between June 14 and June 29, 2022, he had made multiple allegations against Brigadier (Retd) Rashid Naseer which the court determined were false, unsubstantiated, and defamatory.
