A Delhi court on Thursday dismissed a criminal defamation complaint filed by AAP leader Satyendar Jain against BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj.<\/p>\n
Additional chief judicial magistrate Neha Mittal dismissed the complaint while refusing to take cognisance of the matter.<\/p>\n
The criminal defamation carries a maximum punishment of a two-year jail term.<\/p>\n
“Cognisance declined. Dismissed,” said the judge.<\/p>\n
Mr Jain had alleged that Bansuri Swaraj made defamatory remarks against him during an interview on a TV channel on October 5, 2023, and claimed it was watched by millions.<\/p>\n
Ms Swaraj, he said, falsely claimed that Rs 3 crore were recovered from his house aside from 1.8 kilogram gold and 133 gold coins.<\/p>\n
The remarks were made by Ms Swaraj to defame Mr Jain and to gain undue political advantage, his complaint said.<\/p>\n
Mr Jain said Ms Swaraj further defamed him by calling him “corrupt” and a “fraud”.<\/p>\n
