Madhya Pradesh High Court Lifts Stay on Arrest Warrant Against TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee
The Madhya Pradesh High Court lifted the interim stay on the arrest warrant against Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee in a 2021 defamation case filed by Akash Vijayvargiya, son of BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya. The warrant was issued after Banerjee allegedly called Akash a "goon" at a 2020 rally. The court dismissed Banerjee's petition, noting his absence during the hearing, and directed the order to the Bhopal court. Banerjee is also under investigation by the Enforcement Directorate on separate corruption charges.
