Mumbai/IBNS: A magistrate court in Mumbai has convicted Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut in a defamation case which was filed by former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Kirit Somaiya's wife Medha Somaiya, media reports said.


Raut, a Rajya Sabha MP, has been imprisoned for 15 days and a fine of Rs. 25,000 is imposed on him.

Medha Somaiya, a professor of organic chemistry, had filed a complaint against Raut accusing him of making defamatory and incorrect statements on April 15 and 16.

Medha had submitted video clips claiming Raut made the statements to media channels.
