In the Savarkar Defamation Case, Savarkar’s grandnephew Satyaki Savarkar appeared before a special court in Pune in connection with Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on V. D. Savarkar, marking the beginning of the trial in the long-pending defamation case.
Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination on January 30, 1948, remains one of the most shocking criminal cases in independent India’s history. The trial, concluding on February 10, 1949, exposed serious failures by the police to prevent the assassination, despite having critical intelligence and warnings about the plot. The case highlights the lack of effective action, which led to the tragic death of the Father of the Nation.
