Pune court grants bail to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi in Veer Savarkar defamation case

A special court in Pune granted bail to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday in a criminal defamation case filed by the grandnephew of Hindutva ideologue Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. The case stems from allegations that Gandhi made objectionable remarks about the late freedom fighter during a speech in London earlier this year.
