DEFAMATION CASE
A Lucknow court Tuesday granted bail to leader of opposition and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi after he made an appearance in a defamation case filed over his purported remarks on Army personnel, his lawyer said.
The case relates to alleged defamatory remarks against Indian soldiers made during his Bharat Jodo Yatra in 2022, his counsel advocate Pranshu Agarwal said.
Following his appearance, the court released him on bail, the lawyer added.
