A court in Gujarat’s Surat city, on Thursday, convicted Congress MP Rahul Gandhi in a criminal defamation case against him over his alleged Modi surname remark. He has been sentenced to 2 years in jail by the court. Rahul Gandhi has been convicted under IPC Section 504. The maximum possible punishment under this section is two years. The court also granted him bail and suspended the sentence for 30 days to allow him to appeal in a higher court. Gandhi was present in the court when the verdict was pronounced. The final arguments resumed in the case last month after the Gujarat High Court vacated its stay on proceedings imposed on plea by the complainant demanding Gandhi’s personal appearance.
