Court Issues Summons Against Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik In Defamation Case
NDTV
Former Mumbai BJP youth wing president Mohit Kamboj Bharatiya has alleged that Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik defamed him and his family by making baseless allegations against them.
Observing that documents and video clips cited by the complainant prima facie showed that Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik had made defamatory statements, a Mumbai court issued another summons against him in a defamation case filed by former Mumbai BJP youth wing president Mohit Kamboj Bharatiya in connection with a cruise ship drugs case.
The magistrate court directed Mr Malik to appear before it by December 30.
The summons was issued on Monday after a second defamation complaint was filed by Mr Bharatiya but the detailed order was made available on Tuesday.
This is the second such complaint filed by Mr Bharatiya against Nawab Malik seeking action for offences under Indian Penal Code section 500 (punishment for defamation) before the court of the metropolitan magistrate in Sewree in south Mumbai.
