New Delhi: Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP has been booked in Delhi after using abusive language against a BJP leader in a TV interview.
The FIR is registered based on a complaint that was submitted by BJP national general secretary Deepti Rawat Bhardwaj on December 9 at Mandawali police station.
In her complaint, she has alleged that in an interview telecast on a Marathi news channel on December 9, Raut made “shocking comments” against BJP workers.
She further alleged that he issued threats against “the life and limb of BJP political workers” and also used abusive language.
Based on the complaint, an FIR was registered against Raut under section 500 (punishment for defamation) and 509 (word, gesture, or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman), a senior Delhi police officer said.
Reacting to it, Raut said, “FIR registered against me in Delhi has been done with political motives and to suppress my voice. “It has been done to defame my party as CBI, I-T, ED can’t be used against me. I’m an MP, it’s not right to encourage some to register false complaints against me,” Raut, Shiv Sena MP, said.
