UP Court Issues Notice to Rahul Gandhi in Hathras Defamation Case
A special court in Hathras, Uttar Pradesh, has issued a notice to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi regarding a revision petition in a defamation case linked to his remarks about the 2020 Hathras gangrape case. The hearing was postponed to October 15 as the judicial officer was unavailable. The case involves allegations that Gandhi's comments defamed three men acquitted after a CBI investigation. The original complaint was dismissed in May, and the revision petition is now under consideration.
