Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday pleaded ‘not guilty’ and was granted bail in a criminal defamation case filed against him here for calling Union Home Minister Amit Shah a “murder accused”.
Gandhi also appeared before a second court here where he is facing another defamation case, for claiming that Ahmedabad District Cooperative (ADC) Bank was involved in a currency swapping scam post-demonetisation.
Shah is one of the directors of the bank.
Additional chief metropolitan magistrate R B Etaliya, hearing the defamation suit filed by BJP corporator Krishnavadan Brahmbhatt against Gandhi for calling Shah a murder accused, granted the Congress leader bail on a bond of Rs 10,000.
