Modi surname remark: Rahul Gandhi convicted by Surat court in defamation case, later gets bail

By IBNS
Mar 23, 2023..

Surat/IBNS: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi was on Thursday convicted by a court in Gujarat's Surat city in a criminal defamation case over his past remark referring to the surname Modi, media reports said.


Later, the Congress leader got bail.

He was convicted under the IPC Section 504.

Rahul could end up facing a maximum punishment of imprisonment for two years.

During the 2019 Lok Sabha poll campaign, Rahul had said, "How come all the thieves have Modi as the common surname."

A complaint, which was lodged by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Purnesh Modi, had claimed Rahul had defamed the entire Modi community.
