Defamation case: Complainant pays ₹1,500 cost to Rahul Gandhi as directed by court

The complainant in the defamation case filed against Rahul Gandhi has paid ₹1,500 cost to the Congress leader as per the directions of a court at Bhiwandi in Maharashtra's Thane district.

Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) J.V. Paliwal had ordered the complainant, local RSS activist Rajesh Kunte, to pay the amount to Gandhi as he (Kunte) had sought adjournment in the case.

Mr. Kunte had moved applications seeking adjournment in the case twice – in March and April – which the court had rejected and asked him to pay ₹500 (for March) and ₹1,000 (for April) to Mr. Gandhi.
