Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was on Thursday pronounced guilty by Surat District Court in the 2019 defamation case. During the 2019 Lok Sabha election campaigning in Karnataka, he said, "how come all the thieves have Modi as a common surname?" BJP MLA and former Gujarat minister Purnesh Modi lodged an FIR against him. He has been penalised with two years of imprisonment in the criminal defamation case.
