A Delhi court on Saturday closed a criminal defamation case against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Somnath Bharti filed by a woman journalist in 2018 after she accepted his apology before the judge. The complainant, Ranjana Sharma, had filed the case against Mr Bharti for calling her names during a live television debate show in 2018. Mr Bharti submitted before the court that on November 20, 2018 while he was on telephonic conferencing with the complainant, "he had made certain statements and those statements and his words were not directed towards the complainant, but if his words have hurt sentiments of the complainant in any way, he offers his sincere and deepest apology to the complainant". After Mr Bharti's apology, the complainant, represented by advocate Yogesh Swaroop, agreed to compound the case.
