Sanjay Raut the Sena leader has been in trouble for various reasons ever since they lost the power. He was facing allegations in a construction scam and other things.
But he got bail in most of the cases. Now he is in trouble again for making allegations against the BJP leader.
Sanjay Raut, Rajya Sabha MP and leader of Shiv Sena (UBT), has been convicted in a defamation case and sentenced to 15 days in jail.
The metropolitan magistrate in Mumbai’s Mazgaon has also fined Mr Raut ₹ 25,000 in the case registered on a complaint by BJP leader Kirit Somaiya’s wife Dr Medha Kirit Somaiya.
“The Court ordered 15-day imprisonment for Sanjay Raut and imposed a fine of ₹ 25,000 on him,” said Vivekanand Gupta, advocate for Dr Medha Somaiya.
Medha Somaiya had filed a petition against Raut, accusing him of making baseless and defamatory allegations that she and her husband were involved in a ₹ 100 crore scam related to the construction and maintenance of public toilets in Mira Bhayandar.
