An application to seize the bail bond of leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi in a criminal defamation case was filed by Satyaki Savarkar, grandnephew of Hindutva ideologue Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, before a special magisterial court on Friday for not recording his plea to commence trial.
The court directed Gandhi’s lawyer, Milind Pawar, to file a written statement on Satyaki’s plea by May 28. The case has to do with alleged objectionable remarks made by him against Savarkar in a March 2023 speech in London.
