Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday secured bail from the Sultanpur court in a 2018 defamation suit filed by BJP's Vijay Mishra over comments against Home Minister Amit Shah. Rahul's lawyer reported the court briefly detained him for 30-45 minutes before accepting his bail application. Advocate Santosh Pandey affirmed Rahul's innocence, stating no defamatory statements were made. Pandey emphasized that Rahul surrendered in court and awaited further proceedings. The court has yet to assign a future hearing date. The development marks another legal episode in the ongoing political tensions between the Congress and BJP.
