Deepak claims the prime minister had uttered the defamatory words at a press conference last month, after chairing a BN meeting.
The trader cited a report in Malaysiakini titled PM dismisses Deepak's allegations as 'not true', in which Deepak said Najib painted a discrediting picture and tarnished his reputation during the press conference.
The statement made by Najib reflected Deepak as not having a good reputation, being a liar and a person who could not be trusted, having low morals, and who does not deserve to have any professional relations.
Deepak is seeking for general, aggravated, and exemplary damages.
The crux of the carpet trader's suit is over Najib's statement, and Deepak's role in helping former private investigator P Balasubramaniam to retract his first statutory declaration related to Najib's alleged involvement in the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder, for political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda had been charged with abetting and acquitted.
