Ahmedabad, October 11
Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi today appeared in Ahmedabad courts in connection with two defamation cases and pleaded “not guilty” in both cases.
In a case filed by BJP corporator Krishnavadan Brahmbhatt for calling BJP president Amit Shah a ‘murder accused’ in a rally in Jabalpur, he was granted bail on a Rs-10,000 personal bond.
In another case related to Rahul’s claim that Ahmedabad District Cooperative Bank was involved in a currency swapping scam post-demonetisation, the court refused to grant him permanent exemption from personal appearance and fixed the hearing on December 7.
On Thursday, a Surat court fixed the hearing on a similar plea on December 7 while granting him exemption from personal appearance in a case for allegedly defaming the Modi community by making sarcastic remarks as to “why all thieves share Modi surname.” — OC
