A MLA-MP Court has issued a non-bailable warrant against Congress leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi. The Court in Chaibasa, Jharkhand, issued the warrant regarding a defamation case linked to comments made against the then BJP president Amit Shah.
The comments were made by Rahul Gandhi during a Congress plenary session in 2018. At the meet, Rahul Gandhi is alleged to have said that the BJP could be electing a president with charges of murder.

Following this, BJP’s Pratap Katiyar filed a case in June, 2018, saying Rahul Gandhi had defamed the party and its members. The Court proceedings have been going on for years, with the case being escalated to MP-MLA Court in Ranchi.
But the case came back to Chaibasa Court and Rahul Gandhi was repeatedly summoned. A bailable warrant was issued, which was disposed of, in 2024. Though Rahul’s team tried to stop personal appearance of Rahul Gandhi, the Chaibasa Court dismissed the plea.
