Rahul Gandhi acquitted in 2018 defamation case over Amit Shah remarks

A Sultanpur MP/MLA court has acquitted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in a defamation case over remarks about Amit Shah made during the 2018 Karnataka campaign. The court accepted the voice recording as genuine but ruled the complainant, former local BJP vice-president Vijay Mishra, was not an aggrieved person and the remarks were not defamatory. Mishra may seek a revision.
