Rahul Gandhi to appear at Bhiwandi court in defamation case

Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi would be appearing at a court at Bhiwandi in neighbouring Thane district in connection with a defamation case over his alleged comment against the RSS killing Mahatma Gandhi.

At the last hearing, the Bhiwandi magistrate's court had granted him a bail after he appeared before it. The court had adjourned the hearing to January 30.

The case against Rahul was filed by a local RSS functionary, Rajesh Kunte, over the former's speech in Bhiwandi on March 6, 2014, in the run-up to Lok Sabha polls.
