Yes, you can pursue a defamation case against the journalist as the article contained false and offensive information. The cost of such a legal pursuit would depend on the complexity of the case, the lawyers you hire, and the court fees, ranging from a few lakhs to several lakhs depending on the extent of legal proceedings.
