Rahul Gandhi Granted Bail in Jharkhand Defamation Case

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi secured bail on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, from a Chaibasa MP-MLA court in Jharkhand. The bail pertains to a 2018 defamation case.

The case stems from alleged remarks made by Mr. Gandhi against Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The complaint was filed by Pratap Kumar.

Gandhi’s appearance in court followed a Jharkhand High Court order granting him a revised appearance date.

The development comes amidst a series of legal battles facing the Congress leader. This case adds another layer to the ongoing political tensions.

The outcome will undoubtedly fuel further debate on freedom of speech and political discourse in the country. Its impact on the upcoming elections remains to be seen.
