Rahul Gandhi moves Bombay High Court in defamation case filed by RSS worker

India Today  

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday moved Bombay High Court, contesting a decision made by a Magistrate court related to a defamation complaint filed against him by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh worker. In his complaint before the Bhiwandi Magistrate, Kunte accused Rahul Gandhi of making defamatory statements against the RSS, alleging that the Congress leader held the Hindu outfit "responsible for the assassination of the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi". Gandhi has approached the High Court, asserting that Kunte failed to provide any justification for submitting these documents at such a late stage. In the High Court, Gandhi's petition, filed through Advocate Kushal Mor, highlighted that in 2021, Justice Revati Mohite Dere had dismissed a petition filed by Kunte seeking admission or denial of the allegedly defamatory speech made by Gandhi.
