Moga Court Issues Notice to Swati Maliwal in Defamation Case Filed by AAP MLAPreviousNext

A Moga court has issued a notice to Delhi Rajya Sabha member Swati Maliwal in a criminal defamation case filed by Aam Aadmi Party MLA Amandeep Kaur Arora. The case alleges Maliwal used the term "bhed bakri" (sheep and goats) to describe Punjab's AAP MLAs. The court summoned Maliwal under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and scheduled a hearing for June 10, allowing her to appear in person or through counsel. Maliwal recently joined the BJP after leaving AAP.
