Pune: A Pune Court on Friday called Congress Rae Bareli MP Rahul Gandhi to appear in a criminal defamation case filed by late Vinayak Damodar Savarkar’s grandnephew, over his alleged objectionable remarks against Vinayak Savarkar during his visit to the United Kingdom last year. The court has asked Gandhi to appear before it on October 23, reported India Today.
Satyaki Savarkar, grandson of one of Vinayak Savarkar's brothers lodged a complaint with a Pune magistrate court in April 2023, accusing Rahul of making defamatory comments about the Hindutva ideologue during an event in London on March 5, 2023.
In the complaint, Satyaki claimed, "Rahul Gandhi, for reasons best known to him, has been repeatedly defaming and abusing Savarkar on various occasions for over many years. on one such occasion, March 5, 2023, when Rahul Gandhi was addressing a gathering of the Overseas Congress in the United Kingdom, he intentionally made wild allegations against Savarkar, knowing the same to be untrue, to harm Savarkar’s reputation.”

Sumathi assumed charge as the Malkajgiri Police Commissioner on May 1.
On the same night, the senior IPS officer, in plainclothes, moved through the streets of Dilsukhnagar here, standing alone for some time to get a first-hand knowledge of law and order situation, official sources said on Wednesday.
