Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi was granted bail by a Jharkhand court on Wednesday over ‘defamatory remarks’ against Amit Shah in 2018.

On June 2, Gandhi had moved the high court challenging the summons issued by a special court directing him to appear later that month. His counsel informed the court on June 10 that Gandhi would be unable to attend the June 26 hearing and sought a new date.

The special court agreed to his request, and rescheduled the hearing to August 6.
