New Delhi: Event management firm Wizcraft International has filed a case of defamation against agent Jorge Aldana and the two cheerleaders Ellesha Newton and Sherinne Anderson who had levelled racism allegations against the company.

Wizcraft also said it had contracted an Indian agent Akhtar Fazel for providing cheerleaders.

He in turn had contracted Aldana, the director of Fierce Performance Production. The company also stated that it was an obvious attempt to extort money.

Newton and Anderson said earlier said that they were asked to come off the Mohali stage on April 19 because of the colour of their skin.

Newton allegedly told The Telegraph: “It was okay when we reached the stadium. It was when we were going to take our positions that some of Wizcraft’s employees asked us to leave. We were surprised and asked them why and they told us it was because of the colour of our skin.”
