- AVDHESH MALLICK

Health Minister TS Singh Deo has filed a police complaint against Delhi BJP leader Kapil Mishra in Bastar against the unwarrante­d

vulgar remark made against Rahul Gandhi’s recent Nepal trip. Tweets allegedly paint Rahul in a bad light and portray him as China’s friend.

TS, who was on a two-day trip to Bastar, filed a complaint in Jagdalpur’s city Kotwali police station against ex-MLA Delhi Kapil Mishra and other BJP leaders on Thursday.

While speaking to FPJ over phone, TS said Kapil Mishra and other BJP leaders' tweets were highly objectiona­ble and such misdeeds will be dealt accordingl­y under law. It is an attempt of character assassinat­ion. As a dedicated Congress worker, I have filed a complaint in City Kotwali, the Health

Minister said.

Apart from filing a FIR, I will also drag these leaders to court, TS said.

Recently, Rahul Gandhi attended a marriage function in a hotel of Kathmandu, Nepal, and after that a video went viral on social media and he was portrayed speaking with a lady who was allegedly rumoured as a Chinese envoy cum spy.

The allegation­s were later on refuted by Congress National Spokespers­on Surjewala.

JABALPUR: Dismissing the bail applicatio­n of a police constable accused of raping and impregnati­ng a woman, the Madhya Pradesh High Court has directed the state government to transfer him as well as Jabalpur's ADG of Police and Chhindwara's (SP) to remote areas in the state so that the constable does not influence the witnesses in the case. In the order passed on April 21, the single bench of Justice Vivek Agrawal said the forensic evidence in the case has been tampered with.
