A Delhi court issues bailable warrants against YouTuber Dhruv Rathee in a defamation case linked to a 2018 video. The warrants follow repeated difficulties in serving Rathee with court notices, with the court also issuing fresh summons recently.
According to multiple reports, the case concerns allegations in the 2018 “BJP IT Cell” video. NDTV reports that the complainant, Vikas Pandey—who runs a social media page supporting Narendra Modi—claims the video falsely says he offered ₹50 lakh to someone to withdraw allegations about the spread of fake news by the BJP IT Cell. NDTV also says Arvind Kejriwal faces the case over re-sharing the video. Other outlets focus on the court’s procedural steps, including summons and the issuance of bailable warrants, without adding new details on the underlying claims.
