上月7日，新加坡警方发文告，证实接到检控官援引刑事程序第16（2）项，指示警方依刑事诽谤罪名调查本地律师拉维。 拉维则在今日（12日）更新脸书帖文，指出他已接到警方通知，要求他在下周三（16日），针对刑事诽谤的提控出庭。拉维坚信法律站在他一方，无需感到畏惧，他将在庭上抗辩。 事缘拉维在11月6日，在脸书称本地资深律师尤金.图莱辛甘（Eugene Thuraisingam），于2017年告诉他，内政暨律政部长尚穆根自称能对大法官梅达顺“施加影响”，而且还能“发号施令控制梅达顺”（“calls the shot and controlls (sic) Sundaresh Menon）。 对此尤金致函尚穆根澄清，拉维的言论不属实，尚穆根也未曾告知他上述言论。 “始终对大法官怀有崇高敬意” 拉维也在脸书重新分享涉诽谤的帖文原文，其中在文末提及，他不同意尚穆根对大法官有任何影响。他指出，尽管由于他受理的司法申请性质和迫切性，在庭上与大法官多有激烈交锋，“但我始终对大法官有崇高敬意，且对于我和我的客户给予应有的礼貌和公正，并坚守司法独立最佳传统的法治精神。” 若刑事诽谤罪成，可被判坐牢最长两年，或处以罚款，或两者兼施。
