The Samajwadi Party has issued a legal notice to BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, accusing him of defaming Akhilesh Yadav through X posts linking him to an accused without judicial findings. The notice calls the claims false, misleading, and defamatory.
In July 2024, the Delhi High Court mandated TMC leader Saket Gokhale to pay Rs 50 lakh in damages after he defamed Lakshmi Puri on social media regarding property accusations. Gokhale’s attempts to contest the ruling were rejected, and salary attachment ensued due to non-compliance, alongside a contempt petition from Puri.
