Satyaki Savarkar, grandnephew of V D Savarkar, sought court directions for voice samples of Rahul Gandhi in a defamation dispute. Through advocate Sangram Kolhatkar, the plea was filed before Judicial Magistrate A A Shinde, citing material to strengthen allegations.
A Pune court denied Rahul Gandhi’s request for details about Satyaki Savarkar’s maternal lineage in a defamation case linked to comments he made in London. The judge emphasized that the case focuses on alleged defamatory statements rather than family history, asserting that such information is irrelevant to the main issue at hand.
A defamation complaint against Rahul Gandhi, filed by VD Savarkar’s grandnephew, alleges that Gandhi falsely claimed Savarkar wrote about an incident of violence against a Muslim man. Gandhi, who missed a court hearing on December 2 due to Parliament duties, is ordered to appear next on January 10, facing potential legal consequences.
