Now read what Sony's lawyers sent me on 1 September, word for word:

"monetary damages against you atleast to the tone of Rs. 5 crores"

₹5 crore. Over a customer who asked for a test report.

@Sony @sony_india, nobody did this to you. You did it to yourself.

And the irony of that number. At this level, crowdfunding can raise billions. But you will not see a rupee of it. What you have earned here is not money. It is shame.

Two months, not one reply to me. Then this.

@laxmimerit @Sony @sony_india 🗣️ SONY BRAVIA WARRANTY DISPUTE TAKES A BIG TURN

A customer claims his ₹1.5 lakh #SonyBravia TV developed vertical lines after 22 months while under warranty 📺

#Sony reportedly rejected the claim, citing external damage.

Someone bought https://t.co/JC3ecAfcLK to show what Sony did to him.

₹1,50,031 BRAVIA, dead in month 22 of a 3-year warranty. No dent, no crack. Sony said "external damage" from WhatsApp photos, showed no proof, then sent a ₹5 crore legal notice.

Thanks to Louis for taking a note. Soon expecting a video on it.

That is my TV. @sony_india wrote the script themselves: a ₹5 crore notice over a customer asking for a test report.

Two months of silence, then a lawyer. Nobody did this to Sony. @Sony did it to Sony.

What an irony!

@laxmimerit हमे विश्वास है आपके साथ जस्टिस होगा।

[Laxmi Kant @laxmimerit]

ये मैं हूँ। ये मेरा टीवी है।

22वें महीने में खुद खराब हुआ, वारंटी 36 महीने की थी। Sony ने बिना किसी टेस्ट के "external damage" लिख दिया।

दो महीने में Sony ने मुझसे एक बार भी संपर्क नहीं किया। ना कॉल, ना ईमेल। सिर्फ लीगल नोटिस।

नोटिस और मेरा जवाब: https://t.co/mqUiXVPjyC

That is my TV, and this is exactly what @sony_india want me to stop saying.

From their legal notice, para 8, word for word:

"you have also published defamatory statement(s) such as "Never buy a Sony BRAVIA" and "Sony sold us a warranty. Then refused it" on your X account. The said statements are false, misleading, derogatory, and defamatory on the face of it"

One customer's advice after a refused warranty. "Defamatory on the face of it."

@Sony I say once again proudly #DoNotBuySorryBravia

@Sony @sony_india want this hashtag gone.

₹5 crore, delete the site, apologise.

For what? A customer who put Sony's own emails online and asked for a test report.

Two months, not one reply. Then a legal notice.

Sony, you can still answer. The offer to reply on the site, unedited, is open.

Very, very stupid of Sony Bravia guys in India to send a ₹5cr legal notice to a customer as a means to discourage customers from sharing their experience about after-sales service.

Sony Bravia files a 5 crore defamation because
somebody bought a TV and vibe coded a website

This is me. This is my TV.

Month 22 of a 36 month warranty. No dent, no crack. Sony wrote "external damage" and never showed a test.

Two months later Sony has still not contacted me. Not one call, not one email. Just a legal notice.

That is me, and that is my TV. Thank you for covering it.

Failed on its own in month 22 of a 36 month warranty. No dent, no crack. Sony called it external damage, showed no test, and sent a bill.

Two months since. Not one call or email from Sony to me. Silence, then a legal notice.

All I ever asked for: a test report that proves it, or a repair under warranty.
