YouTuber and commentator Major (r) Adil Raja has issued a written public apology on the social media platform X after the London High Court found him guilty of making false and defamatory allegations against Brigadier (r) Rashid Naseer, 24NewsHD TV reported on Thursday.
In his apology posted online, Raja acknowledged that the accusations he levelled between 14 and 29 June 2022 were “baseless and defamatory.”
He admitted that he had no evidence to support the claims and accepted full responsibility as determined by the court.
Raja stated that the High Court’s 9 October 2025 decision held him accountable for defamation and ordered him to pay £50,000 in damages to Rashid Naseer.
The court also approved legal costs against him.
Following the judgment, the court instructed Raja to publicly apologise before 22 December and to keep the apology prominently displayed on his social media accounts for 28 days.
