An MP-MLA court on Monday sought Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s response on a defamation complaint filed against him by three men who were acquitted in the September 2020 Hathras gangrape case, according to their lawyer.The complaint alleged that Gandhi made defamatory remarks on December 12, 2024, against the three men despite their acquittal on rape charges.
The case refers to the alleged gangrape of a 19-year-old Dalit woman that led to her death in September 2020.
On Monday, Judge Deepak Nath Saraswati received the report sought earlier from the circle officer as part of the inquiry into the complaint, said Munna Singh Pundir, the lawyer representing the three men.
