Rahul Gandhi Has Pleaded Not Guilty In The Criminal Defamation Case Filed Against Him For Calling Amit Shah A Murder Accused.
After getting anticipatory bail, former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Friday termed the defamation case against him “politically motivated”.

Gandhi had appeared before metropolitan magistrate court in Ahmedabad and pleaded not guilty. He had also sought anticipatory bail in the case, which he was granted by the court. The Congress MP from Wayanad also moved an application for personal exemption after pleading not guilty.
“Yesterday it was Surat, today it’s Ahmedabad - to attend a hearing in yet another politically motivated case filed against me,” Gandhi captioned a video on Twitter.
