The trial court proceedings in a defamation case filed by BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga against journalist Swati Chaturvedi have been stayed until July 17. The Delhi High Court issued an order to this effect after the journalist approached the court challenging the trial court summons, Live Law reported.
The case pertains to the journalist’s tweet following Bagga’s appointment as the BJP spokesperson in 2017. “Now the man who beat up @pbhushan1 was arrested in a sexual harassment case speaks for @BJP4India. Good job,” she had tweeted.
