Bengaluru Special Court Grants Bail to Rahul Gandhi in BJP Defamation Case
A special court in Bengaluru granted bail to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday in connection with a defamation case filed by the Karnataka BJP unit. The bail was secured on the surety of Congress leader DK Suresh. The court has scheduled the next hearing for July 30.
The BJP's complaint alleged that advertisements in local newspapers and 'false campaigning' by Congress ahead of the 2023 state assembly elections had damaged the BJP's image. The case was registered against the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC), Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
Earlier, the court granted bail to Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, who appeared before it on June 1. Shivakumar dismissed the defamation case as a 'bogus case,' stating, "BJP has filed a false, bogus case against me, CM Siddaramaiah, and Rahul Gandhi, and summons have been issued."
